UNSPSC 85818513: Transfusion of nonautologous whole blood into products of conception, circulatory, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfusion of nonautologous whole blood into products of conception, circulatory, via natural or artificial opening. 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 30277H1

UNSPSC 85818513 Transfusion of nonautologous whole blood into products of conception, circulatory, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — transfusion services tied to fetal or circulatory intervention — does not align with the actual work posted under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code comprise independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve transfusion services or blood product administration; they represent general healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and staffing functions orthogonal to the code's stated commodity.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code definition and the posted opportunities suggests either persistent miscoding by state and local procurement offices or that the code is used as a catch-all classification for healthcare services when more specific codes are unavailable. Geographic activity across the opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with issuing bodies ranging from municipal retirement boards to county health systems and state transportation agencies. Given the absence of actual transfusion-service opportunities and the apparent classification misalignment, vendors targeting transfusion products or services should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify commodity alignment before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
