UNSPSC 85531479: Replacement of right femoral vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right femoral vein with synthetic substitute, open 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 06RM0JZ

UNSPSC 85531479 Replacement of right femoral vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent alignment to state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — replacement of a right femoral vein with synthetic material using an open surgical approach — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve procurement of this procedure or related implantable medical devices. Instead, the tagged solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these scopes involve femoral vein replacement supplies, implants, or the operative procedure itself.

The geographic and issuing-body mix reflects the broader misalignment. Recent opportunities come from the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational surveillance for ferry workers), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations for pension applicants), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits for employees), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and inpatient services for detained youth). Activity spans Washington, Arizona, Florida, and California, but the code shows little actionable recent procurement activity directly tied to femoral vein replacement or related vascular surgical implants and supplies. Firms pursuing state and local opportunities under this code should verify the accuracy of the code assignment with issuing bodies, as the tagged solicitations suggest either a data-classification error or a significant disconnect between the code's nominal scope and current buying patterns.
