UNSPSC 85521521: Destruction of left vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 055S4ZZ

UNSPSC 85521521 Destruction of left vertebral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent solicitations tagged under it concern independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vertebral vein destruction or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests that the code has been misapplied to procurement activities it does not describe, or that state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities incorrectly in the source database.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), two city human resources departments (City of Long Beach, Collier County), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. No solicitation in the recent-opportunities block actually procures the vertebral vein procedure named in the code; the code shows little relevant activity aligned with its nominal scope.
