UNSPSC 85818929: Transfusion of nonautologous platelets into central vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfusion of nonautologous platelets into central vein, percutaneous 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 30243R1

UNSPSC 85818929 Transfusion of nonautologous platelets into central vein, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity under the code. The recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, and surgical procedure carve-out programs — none of which involve platelet transfusion or the clinical procedure the code name describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and their health systems and pension boards. This code appears to reflect a data-tagging error rather than legitimate procurement activity aligned with the Commodity's stated clinical procedure.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for physician-supervised examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determination support at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks covering orthopedic, cardiac, and oncology procedures; and the Santa Clara County Health System's multi-award temporary health professional staffing solicitation (due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Given the absence of any platelet transfusion procurement and the uniform divergence of all recent opportunities from the code's stated clinical scope, this code warrants review for reclassification or removal from active state and local procurement tracking.
