This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right external iliac vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85533526, Replacement of right external iliac vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show a marked mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being solicited. None of the six posted opportunities involve vascular surgery, tissue replacement, or percutaneous endoscopic procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, and emergency/specialty healthcare services for detained youth. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these procurements, suggesting either a tagging error in the source system or use of the code as a generic catch-all for health services contracting.

This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. Procurement professionals pursuing vascular surgery or similar clinical procedural services should verify coding against the issuing jurisdiction's actual solicitation documents rather than relying on this code classification, as the recent opportunities provide no actionable signal for vendors offering the specific procedure named in the code. State and local health systems and counties posting under this code are purchasing administrative health services, staffing placement, and benefit management — work that falls outside the procedural scope the code is designed to represent.
