UNSPSC 85818828: Transfusion of nonautologous platelets into central artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfusion of nonautologous platelets 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 30260R1

UNSPSC 85818828 Transfusion of nonautologous platelets into central artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and pediatric emergency/specialty healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve transfusion of platelets or related blood products; the mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic misclassification by posting jurisdictions or inadvertent tagging error.

The opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and administrators (Collier County Commissioners, Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825) due October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001) due October 16, 2026. Because the code shows no recent legitimate opportunities for platelet transfusions or related blood-product services, vendors in that medical specialty should verify their UNSPSC classification or search under alternative codes covering laboratory or hematology services before pursuing opportunities listed under 85818828.
