UNSPSC 85521492: Excision of right vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05BR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85521492 Excision of right vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy does not align with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or vascular intervention; instead, they reflect administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing procurement that state and local agencies are actually conducting. The issuing bodies include city and county human resources and retirement offices, health systems, and judicial authorities—jurisdictions acquiring medical administration and benefits services rather than clinical procedures.

The geographic spread encompasses Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program for municipal employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual procurement activity suggests this code assignment is a data error and should not be treated as a reliable signal for pursuing work in the medical administration or employee benefits space.
