UNSPSC 85521602: Restriction of left subclavian vein with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left subclavian vein with intraluminal device, open 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 05V60DZ

UNSPSC 85521602 Restriction of left subclavian vein with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — restricting blood flow in the left subclavian vein using an implanted device via open surgery — but the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with that scope. Instead, the opportunities posted under 85521602 solicit independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve the placement of intraluminal devices or the restriction of subclavian veins, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the work state and local governments are actually buying under it.

The state and local procurement system appears to have misclassified or overloaded this code with health services and staffing solicitations that fall outside its intended scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical Centers of Excellence networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medicine), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (acute and specialty care), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing) have all posted opportunities under 85521602 in the past two months, but none of these contracts address the restriction of subclavian veins or the use of intraluminal devices. Unless your firm specializes in providing this specific vascular surgery procedure to state or local detention, pension, transportation, or health system entities — an unusually narrow and unlikely service line — this code does not represent a viable pursuit opportunity. Clarifying the correct code assignment with the relevant procurement offices before investing in business development efforts is advisable.
