This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfusion of nonautologous fresh plasma 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 30260L1

UNSPSC 85818822 Transfusion of nonautologous fresh plasma into central artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a pronounced mismatch between its abstract scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical carve-out networks for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing for hospital systems, and specialty emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which are transfusion procedures or plasma-related medical interventions. The soliciting bodies span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation departments, and municipal human resources divisions. This code carries little decision-relevant activity for vendors focused on transfusion or plasma-based clinical services.

The geographic spread reflected in recent postings includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), indicating broad but scattered state and local engagement. The most recent and concrete opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations align with the code's stated clinical scope, suggesting the code has been misapplied to administrative and occupational health services rather than transfusion medicine or related clinical procedures.
