UNSPSC 85819005: Transfusion of autologous fibrinogen into central vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfusion of autologous fibrinogen into central vein, 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 30240T0

UNSPSC 85819005 "Transfusion of autologous fibrinogen into central vein, open approach" is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears to describe a specific clinical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code are for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve autologous fibrinogen transfusion or the procedural intervention the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to opportunities that belong elsewhere in the UNSPSC medical services taxonomy.

State and local issuing bodies over the past three months include county health systems (Santa Clara County), county procurement offices on behalf of public employee retirement boards (Phoenix), city procurement bureaus (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), and county human resources divisions managing health benefits (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities span occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington State ferry locations (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP, due October 9, 2026), disability medical record review and examination scheduling for Phoenix public safety retirees (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP, due October 16, 2026), and temporary staffing for multiple ancillary clinical specialties at County of Santa Clara Health System (multiple-award vendor pool, RFQ, due October 7, 2026). Activity is geographically distributed across California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal definition and the work actually being procured under it, this code warrants review for reclassification or removal from active state and local procurement use.
