UNSPSC 85521487: Extirpation of matter from right vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 05CR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85521487 Extirpation of matter from right vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's nominal scope—a highly specific medical procedure—bears no connection to the six recent opportunities posted under this code, which solicited disability medical record review services, surgical benefit management programs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with a code intended for a single surgical intervention, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's technical definition and the work actually being bought.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), indicating geographic dispersion but no coherent pattern tied to the code's stated purpose. Without recent opportunities that match the code's nominal scope, the code shows no meaningful activity for firms pursuing state and local procurement in the surgical procedure market. Firms should verify code assignment in solicitation materials before bidding, as the mismatch suggests either a data entry error or a systemic tagging problem within the state and local procurement system.
