UNSPSC 85831302: Pheresis of cord blood stem cells, multiple

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a therapeutic intervention or procedure to pheresis of cord blood stem cells, multiple. This 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 6A551ZT

UNSPSC 85831302 Pheresis of cord blood stem cells, multiple (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—cord blood stem cell collection and processing—does not match the six recent opportunities posted under this classification. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve pheresis, cord blood, or stem cell work. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or that this code is not actively used for state and local purchasing of its intended service line.

The recent opportunities themselves span multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001, due October 16, 2026, seeks independent medical evaluation services for 75 annual disability benefit applications under a five-year contract with maximum compensation of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026, procures occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations. The City of Long Beach HR26753, due October 7, 2026, requests a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan covering approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, this code warrants reassessment or reclassification before investment in pursuit strategy.
