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

UNSPSC 85521486 Extirpation of matter from left vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity identified in recent solicitations. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code comprise medical staffing, benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy management, and medical evaluation services—none of which involve the percutaneous endoscopic vascular procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments issuing under this code are purchasing comprehensive medical and administrative support services rather than the surgical intervention the code name implies.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect a broad range of public sectors. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody (due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) posted a solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows limited and misaligned recent activity, signaling that this UNSPSC category may not reflect actual state and local buying patterns for the work being procured.
