UNSPSC 85818916 Transfusion of autologous whole blood into central vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations posted under this code do not involve autologous blood transfusions or any related hematology procedure. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and independent medical evaluation services for pension determinations. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems (City of Long Beach). None of these opportunities involve transfusion procedures or the clinical service the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach carve-out surgical benefit program RFP due October 7, 2026 and Santa Clara County health professional staffing pool due October 7, 2026), Washington (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services RFI due September 25, 2026). The code appears to be incorrectly assigned to these opportunities and does not reflect relevant state and local procurement activity in its actual commodity scope.
