UNSPSC 85818829: Transfusion of nonautologous red blood cells into central artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfusion of nonautologous red blood 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 30260N1

UNSPSC 85818829 Transfusion of nonautologous red blood cells into central artery, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local activity aligned to its clinical definition. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve transfusion procedures or blood product procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either persistent miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that transfusion services and blood products are regularly classified under codes unrelated to their procedural or clinical nature.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Collier County Health Care Consortium), county systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and local workforce agencies (City of Long Beach). No standout repeat buyer emerges from the tagged opportunities. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no identifiable concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the absence of opportunities actually involving transfusion services or blood product management, pursuit under this code would require direct engagement with state and local healthcare systems and hospital procurement offices to identify whether transfusion-related work is being solicited under alternative UNSPSC classifications or through cooperative purchasing vehicles.
