UNSPSC 85521476: Insertion of intraluminal device into left vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into left vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05HS4DZ

UNSPSC 85521476 Insertion of intraluminal device into left vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific clinical procedure — percutaneous placement of an intraluminal device in the left vertebral vein — but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve device insertion or vascular interventions. The mismatch suggests either tagging error by the source issuing bodies or that state and local procurement systems occasionally misclassify health services under procedural device codes. No opportunities in the posting block reflect procurement of the device or procedure itself.

The recent opportunities cluster instead around employee health benefits administration, occupational medicine compliance, and clinical staffing — activities that fall outside the device insertion code's operative scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (response due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is seeking a surgical benefit carve-out manager for Center of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across 13 ancillary health professions (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity appears scattered across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas with no concentration pattern. The code warrants review for accurate UNSPSC classification; firms pursuing health services procurement under this taxonomy should verify the issuing body's actual scope before investing bid resources.
