UNSPSC 85521271: Extirpation of matter from left vertebral vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 05CS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85521271 Extirpation of matter from left vertebral vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect the code's medical-procedure scope. The six opportunities in the source span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular intervention or extirpation procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical taxonomy label and actual state and local procurement activity captured under this identifier.

The geographic spread of these opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), indicating the code is flagged across multiple regions. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal health plans, state transportation departments, county health systems, juvenile probation departments, and county human resources divisions. Without verifiable recent opportunities aligned to the code's stated procedure, the code appears to reflect either a taxonomy data-entry error or a classification artifact rather than active procurement demand for vascular extirpation services in state and local markets.
