UNSPSC 85521246: Occlusion of left vertebral vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left vertebral 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 05LS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85521246 Occlusion of left vertebral vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific clinical procedure — does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. Recent opportunities posted by state and local bodies tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational medical surveillance programs, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations address medical and administrative services delivery, benefits management, and staffing — none of which represents the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source materials or inconsistent application of the UNSPSC taxonomy by issuing bodies.

The recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state transportation departments, and county juvenile authorities. No vendor is winning repeatedly under this code, and the opportunities range from disability pension medical review (City of Phoenix, RFP due October 16, 2026) to occupational health surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division, RFP due October 9, 2026) to temporary clinical staffing pools (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP due October 7, 2026). The code does not represent a coherent procurement family and carries minimal signal value for vendors pursuing medical device, clinical procedure, or health-service-delivery opportunities in state and local government.
