UNSPSC 85532382: Supplement superior mesenteric vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement superior mesenteric vein with nonautologous 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 06U50KZ

UNSPSC 85532382, Supplement superior mesenteric vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure rather than a product or service category commonly procured by state and local governments. The recent contract opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect vascular surgical procedures; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services, temporary health professional staffing, and surgery benefit carve-out programs for public employees and public-sector populations. This mismatch indicates the code has little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, and the opportunities posted under it represent general healthcare and benefits administration services rather than the procedural intervention the code nominally describes.

State and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 85532382 does not align with its technical scope. The issuers in the recent opportunity block—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are soliciting healthcare administration and staffing services rather than vascular surgery supplies or services. The mismatch between the code name and the work actually posted suggests either a data-tagging error or use of the code as a catch-all for medical-services procurement that does not fit narrower categories. Business development professionals should verify the applicable UNSPSC code tier and commodity family before pursuing opportunities under this designation, as the recent solicitations do not reflect the procedure described in the code's formal name.
