UNSPSC 85521001: Restriction of left vertebral 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 05VS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85521001 Restriction of left vertebral vein, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the vertebral vein procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests these opportunities were tagged to the code in error or the procurement system's UNSPSC classification does not align with the clinical procedure the code describes.

No business development action is warranted under this code at present. Firms pursuing state and local health services contracts should verify the actual scope of work through the solicitation documents themselves rather than relying on the UNSPSC code assignment, as the tagging appears unreliable for this category.
