UNSPSC 85521614: Restriction of hemiazygos vein with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of hemiazygos 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 05V10DZ

UNSPSC 85521614 Restriction of hemiazygos vein with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to label a specific surgical procedure in clinical taxonomy, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little to no alignment with vascular surgical services. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit network management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve restriction of the hemiazygos vein or intraluminal device placement. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic coding error in the opportunities data or a misalignment of the UNSPSC classification with these jurisdictions' procurement practices. Code activity across these opportunities involves issuing bodies from multiple states and public sectors: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California).

The recent opportunities show no concentrated geographic or functional pattern coherent with vascular surgical intervention. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) involve physician-supervised clinical assessments unrelated to the code's nominal procedure. The City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) addresses Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures — but does not reference vascular interventions or hemiazygos vein procedures. Given the absence of actual vascular surgical procurement under this code and the generic nature of the health services opportunities posted, this code shows little relevant recent activity for contractors specializing in vascular procedures or intraluminal device placement. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify the accuracy of the UNSPSC classification before investing business development resources.
