This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left vertebral vein, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85521311 Dilation of left vertebral vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose title does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations posted under this code span occupational and disability medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve percutaneous vascular interventions. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities or a breakdown in how the code is being applied to health-services procurement. State and local issuing bodies tagged under this code include city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and county commissioners' offices — a broad mix of public health, benefits administration, and occupational medicine functions.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted a proposal for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026, valued at $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows active use by state and local buyers, but the divergence between its nominal clinical scope and the actual work being procured warrants verification before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
