UNSPSC 85521240: Repair intracranial vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair intracranial vein, percutaneous 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 05QL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85521240 Repair intracranial vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific neurovascular surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged with this code are actually purchasing occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve intracranial vein repair or percutaneous neurovascular intervention. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or inconsistent application of UNSPSC taxonomy by the issuing bodies. State and local governments purchasing under this code are school districts, counties, and municipalities seeking clinical services administration, health plan management, and occupational medicine compliance rather than specialized surgical procedures.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast, with solicitations from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach, RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara, RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP for pharmacy benefit management services), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026), and Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity supporting the intracranial vein repair procedure nominally described in its name; procurement interest lies instead in administrative health services, benefit program management, and clinical staffing placement vehicles.
