UNSPSC 85818821: Transfusion of nonautologous fibrinogen into central artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfusion of nonautologous fibrinogen 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 30260T1

UNSPSC 85818821 Transfusion of nonautologous fibrinogen into central artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical transfusion procedure—shows little alignment with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The six recent opportunities tagged to the code span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the direct procurement of fibrinogen transfusions or related clinical supplies; instead, they reflect administrative, staffing, and program-management services within health systems and municipal employee benefit structures. The issuing bodies represent a mix of state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). This pattern suggests the code may be mislabeled or applied inconsistently within state and local procurement systems, or that the opportunities tagged to it were classified by error rather than intentional scope alignment.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026, requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a five-year contract valued at $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year term and optional five-year extension. The City of Long Beach posted RFP HR26753 on August 26, 2026, for surgical Centers of Excellence network and bundled payment services for municipal employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026, with a two-year initial term and three optional one-year renewals. Collier County posted RFP 25-8414 on August 20, 2026, for pharmacy benefit management services, with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million and a three-year initial term effective January 1, 2026. Given the substantial divergence between the code's clinical procedure scope and the administrative and staffing nature of recent opportunities, this code warrants review for classification accuracy rather than pursuit based on posted activity.
