UNSPSC 85534109: Replacement of esophageal vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of esophageal 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 06R30JZ

UNSPSC 85534109 Replacement of esophageal vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect medical benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve surgical implantation or esophageal vein procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, but the issuing bodies are purchasing administrative medical services, benefit carve-out programs, occupational medicine protocols, and staffing augmentation instead.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington across city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation services. The Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited surgical benefit carve-out administration for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees across 14 statewide locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, cardiology, radiology, and therapy services (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's procedural surgical scope and the administrative and staffing services actually being procured indicates this code is unlikely to reflect meaningful opportunity for surgical implant vendors or related device manufacturers pursuing state and local work.
