This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of azygos vein with intraluminal device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85521617, Restriction of azygos vein with intraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—intraluminal restriction of the azygos vein via open approach—yet the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employees, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These solicitations address health benefit administration, staffing, and clinical program management rather than procurement of the azygous vein procedure itself or its associated clinical supplies and devices. State and local issuers posting under this code include city and county health systems and retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System, City of Long Beach), spanning administrative contracting for employee health services rather than facility-based surgical procurement.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (response due April 9, 2026, historical annual spending approximately $8.7 million). The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities tagged to it reflect health services administration, benefits management, and occupational health programs rather than the surgical procedure the commodity code describes.
