UNSPSC 85521280: Excision of intracranial vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05BL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85521280 Excision of intracranial vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the state and local medical-service opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluation services — none of which involve intracranial vein excision or neurological surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding during state and local procurement intake or a data classification error; the code itself does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in current state and local activity.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span county systems (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a state ferries system (Washington State Ferries). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's vendor-pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing in multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's nominal procedure scope and the diverse healthcare administration and staffing services actually being procured, this code warrants caution for vendors seeking targeted opportunities in neurosurgical or intracranial service lines.
