UNSPSC 85818808: Transfusion of autologous frozen red cells into central artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfusion of autologous frozen red 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 30260P0

UNSPSC 85818808, Transfusion of autologous frozen red cells into central artery, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities reviewed. The code nominally describes a specific surgical transfusion procedure, yet the six most recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 span disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve autologous red cell transfusion or the narrow clinical procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement that does not belong under this Commodity designation.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a city retirement office (Phoenix), two municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county benefits administration (Collier County). Activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The representative opportunities—Phoenix's RFP for disability medical record summaries and independent medical evaluations (due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's RFP for surgical Centers of Excellence network management (due October 7, 2026), and WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026)—all involve health services administration and occupational or disability assessment rather than transfusion procedures. State and local buyers should expect this code to show little relevant activity for transfusion-specific procurement; practitioners pursuing health services contracts should verify the actual UNSPSC coding against the work scope before relying on this category.
