UNSPSC 85521263: Insertion of intraluminal device into right vertebral vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into right 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 05HR3DZ

UNSPSC 85521263 Insertion of intraluminal device into right vertebral vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, shows a clear mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the work state and local governments are actually buying. The recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—do not involve insertion of intraluminal devices or any vertebral vein procedure. Instead, they reflect procurement of administrative healthcare services, occupational medicine programs, benefits management, and clinical staffing. The code appears to have been misapplied across multiple issuing bodies (Arizona city retirement offices, Washington state transportation, California and Florida county health systems, and a Texas juvenile justice department) to solicit healthcare services that fall outside the specific interventional radiology or vascular procedure the code nominally describes.

Activity is concentrated in four states—Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida—with Texas also represented. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services with a five-year term and $750,000 maximum contract compensation; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP due October 7, 2026 for surgical benefit carve-out services for its Anthem PPO plan; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool due October 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories; and Collier County posted an RFP due April 9, 2026 for pharmacy benefit management services with approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending. Because the code's nominal scope and the actual recent solicitations are fundamentally unaligned, this code does not reliably signal procurement interest in intraluminal vascular device insertion, and vendors in that specialty should not rely on this code to track relevant opportunities.
