UNSPSC 85818803: Transfusion of autologous cord blood stem cells into central artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfusion of autologous cord blood stem cells into central artery, 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 30260X0

UNSPSC 85818803 Transfusion of autologous cord blood stem cells into central artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code name refers to a highly specialized regenerative medicine procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect routine occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, pension disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involves autologous cord blood stem cell transfusion. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or serves as a catch-all placeholder for general medical services procurement that falls outside narrower commodity classifications. The issuing bodies include county health systems, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, city retirement offices, and special district medical programs spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington.

Recent opportunities under this code reflect city, county, and state demand for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy administration, temporary ancillary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluation, surgical procedure networks, and emergency detention healthcare services. The Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferries workers across 14 locations with a two-year initial term and renewal options (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services for public safety pension determinations at $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management for its Anthem PPO plan covering 3,800 active employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a multi-award qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across thirteen health professional categories excluding nursing and physicians (due October 7, 2026). The geographic concentration spans the Pacific and Southwest regions with activity also in Florida and Texas. Given the code's nominal scope and the mismatch with current buying patterns, this category warrants close examination of how individual opportunities are actually tagged and whether the code is routinely misclassified by issuing bodies or reflects a definitional gap in UNSPSC's coverage of general medical services administration.
