UNSPSC 85532357: Supplement left external iliac vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left external iliac vein with autologous tissue 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 06UG07Z

UNSPSC 85532357 Supplement left external iliac vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal descriptor refers to a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities indexed under it do not align with that clinical scope. The code shows no recent solicitations for vascular surgical supplies, implants, or related operative materials. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical care-out benefits for government employees, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the procurement of vascular surgical products or services described by the code's name. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source records or a systematic indexing misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the way certain jurisdictions classify healthcare services and staffing solicitations.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county commissioners' procurement divisions (Collier County). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, and Washington, with scattered notices from other states. Because the code's nominal clinical scope (vascular surgery materials) bears no relationship to the work actually being procured, this code should not be relied upon as a signal of actual demand in vascular surgical device markets; business development professionals pursuing such products should cross-reference procurement databases by service line and vendor category rather than by this particular UNSPSC number.
