UNSPSC 85532394: Supplement inferior vena cava with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement inferior vena cava 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 06U00KZ

UNSPSC 85532394 Supplement inferior vena cava with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving implantation of nonautologous tissue to reinforce or repair the inferior vena cava via open surgical approach — a narrowly defined clinical intervention. However, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that service or related surgical implants. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities directly involve vena cava repair or nonautologous tissue implants.

The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the broad health-services procurement currently tagged under it suggests either misclassification in the jurisdiction's tagging practices or that this code is not actively used for its nominal purpose in state and local contracting. The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but they address administrative health services, benefit program management, and temporary staffing rather than surgical procedures or implants. No correlated procurement activity for vena cava repair, tissue substitutes, surgical implants, or related clinical supplies appears in the available records. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for practical state and local contracting purposes and verify correct commodity classification before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under it.
