This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from lower vein, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 06PY37Z

UNSPSC 85531221 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from lower vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code cover independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, Centers of Excellence networks for elective surgical procedures, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve removal of autologous tissue substitutes from lower veins or are procedural in the sense the code name implies. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing bodies or use of the code as a catch-all for health services procurement outside its defined commodity scope.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum (due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations with a two-year term and optional five additional one-year extensions (due October 9, 2026); and the Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no dominant geographic concentration and no repeat issuers among the recent postings.
