UNSPSC 85521511: Dilation of left vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of 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 057S4ZZ

UNSPSC 85521511 Dilation of left vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure — percutaneous endoscopic dilation of a vertebral vein — but the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 show no procurement matching this clinical service line. Instead, state and local buyers are soliciting independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit programs for government employees, temporary ancillary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve the vertebral vein procedure named in the code.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being bought suggests either a data classification error in the underlying state and local procurement system or that this particular procedure does not see procurement volume through state or local channels. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive at the state and local level and focus instead on broader health services and staffing codes when pursuing government healthcare opportunities.
