UNSPSC 85521073: Occlusion of intracranial vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion 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 05LL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85521073 Occlusion of intracranial vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure for treating intracranial vein occlusion, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit network management for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing services. These solicitations represent healthcare administration, benefits management, and occupational health services rather than the specific neurosurgical intervention the code nominally identifies. The issuing bodies include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and their respective health systems and pension boards—a mix of general-purpose local governments and specialized healthcare and benefits entities.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in a single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and historical annual spending of $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, proposal deadline April 9, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the surgical procedure described in the code name and the healthcare administration and occupational health work actually being procured suggests vendors should verify scope alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
