UNSPSC 85532453: Replacement of hepatic vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of hepatic 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 06R40KZ

UNSPSC 85532453 Replacement of hepatic vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving hepatic vein replacement, but the state and local opportunities tagged under it do not match this scope; instead, the recent solicitations involve independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span general healthcare administration and staffing rather than the specific surgical intervention the code names.

The mismatch between the code's title and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local data sources or that this Commodity code is not an accurate organizing category for what issuing bodies actually buy. The source material shows no evidence of state or local governments procuring replacement hepatic vein surgery or related surgical implants, which would be the core scope of the code itself. Practitioners should verify the accuracy of UNSPSC tagging for this code before committing resources to pursuit in this category.
