This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement inferior mesenteric vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85532379 Supplement inferior mesenteric vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a surgical vascular procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement of medical services and administrative health benefit programs — disability medical evaluations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary clinical staffing qualification pools, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. State and local buyers across this code include city retirement boards, county human resources and health departments, state transportation and ferries authorities, juvenile probation departments, and regional health systems. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the service-based opportunities posted suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement database.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026; $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries across 14 Washington locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits under an Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (due October 7, 2026). Collier County's PBM services RFP (due April 9, 2026) reflects historical pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million annually. The code shows no clear pattern of genuine vascular surgical procurement at the state and local level; pursuit should be informed by clarification of the actual code assignment and whether opportunities reflect true scope or systematic miscoding.
