UNSPSC 85521013: Restriction of intracranial vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of intracranial 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 05VL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85521013 Restriction of intracranial vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities associated with it. The code nominally describes a clinical surgical procedure for neurovascular intervention, yet the posted opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pension disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve intracranial vein restriction surgery or surgical procedure delivery. This mismatch indicates the code has been applied to healthcare administration and staffing services rather than the surgical intervention its name describes, suggesting either a cataloging error or a systematic misclassification of healthcare procurement under this code.

The opportunities show activity across three states: Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), and California (City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026, and County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026), with one multistate solicitation from Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management, deadline April 9, 2026) and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Texas (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, deadline September 25, 2026). Issuing bodies include county health systems, county procurement divisions, state transportation agencies, city retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments. Because the code does not describe what is actually being procured, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before committing resources to opportunities tagged under this code.
