This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of inferior mesenteric vein with synthetic 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 06R60JZ

UNSPSC 85532448 Replacement of inferior mesenteric vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical nomenclature and actual state and local procurement activity. The code's title describes a specific surgical procedure — replacement of an inferior mesenteric vein with synthetic material — yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not solicit surgical implants, vascular devices, or surgical supplies. Instead, the opportunities reflect services ranging from occupational medical surveillance and disability benefits medical record review to pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve procurement of the vascular graft or synthetic substitute device the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipalities — the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Activity is geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Because the code's nominal scope diverges substantially from the services actually being tagged in recent opportunities, this code does not present a reliable procurement signal for vendors pursuing state and local contracts related to vascular surgical implants or replacement devices. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the opportunity records or that this code should not be relied upon to identify relevant buying activity.
