UNSPSC 85532078: Replacement of right femoral vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right femoral vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 06RM4KZ

UNSPSC 85532078 (Replacement of right femoral vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. These solicitations represent health plan administration, clinical staffing, and medical services coordination—not the procedural medical device or service the code name describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic coding error in the state and local opportunities database or misclassification at the point of solicitation posting.

No meaningful activity exists under this code for vendors offering the replacement vein procedure or related surgical implants and services as the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies across the six recent opportunities—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara—are pursuing general health services contracting rather than procedural medical device or implant procurement. Business development professionals evaluating this code should investigate whether a recoding effort is underway or whether internal taxonomy drift has detached the code from its intended commodity scope. The code as currently tagged does not represent a viable procurement category for vendors in the vascular implant, tissue substitute, or percutaneous endoscopic procedure space.
