UNSPSC 85532464: Replacement of inferior vena cava with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of inferior vena cava with autologous 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 06R007Z

UNSPSC 85532464 Replacement of inferior vena cava with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving vascular replacement, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code — spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County — are purchasing independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out administration, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the procurement of surgical implants, tissue substitutes, or the actual performance of inferior vena cava replacement procedures.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing jurisdictions or that the code is being used as a catchall for health services contracting that does not fit elsewhere in the taxonomy. State and local procurement offices in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington are actively posting health services RFPs and RFQs — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office closed an RFP for disability medical evaluation on October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach and Collier County are both procuring managed care and benefit administration services; and the Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational health surveillance — but none reflect the commodity scope the UNSPSC number nominally describes. No evidence supports that state and local governments are currently buying replacement vena cava implants or tissue substitutes under this code.
