UNSPSC 85532480 Repair inferior vena cava, open approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal clinical scope; the code appears to tag healthcare administration and support services rather than surgical repair procedures. The opportunities solicited include inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support worker programs, and emergency medical services medical direction — none of which involve inferior vena cava repair or surgical intervention. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; San Mateo County, California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department, California), reflecting a mix of county health administration, human resources benefits management, and emergency services oversight rather than acute surgical care procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and California, with single recent opportunities in Georgia and California. The Muscogee County Prison inmate medical services RFP (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) represents a county jail healthcare contract managing approximately 576 offenders; Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) covers pharmacy administration for 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spending; and Monroe County's Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) seeks a virtual care platform operator for 2,300 county members. The code shows substantial tagging activity under this commodity designation despite the fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the healthcare administration and operations work actually being procured. Business development professionals should verify code accuracy directly with issuing bodies before pursuing, as the taxonomy assignment does not reflect the nature of the underlying opportunity.
