UNSPSC 85521121: Destruction 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 055S0ZZ

UNSPSC 85521121 Destruction of left vertebral vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are almost entirely unrelated to the surgical scope — they cover independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests this code is a misclassification in state and local procurement systems rather than an active market for the described surgical procedure itself.

The issuing bodies in the recent block span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach, Seattle via Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). With no opportunities directly aligned to the code's nominal scope and the solicitations tagged under it addressing unrelated health services administration and staffing, prospective vendors should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and investigate whether a different UNSPSC classification better matches their service offering.
