UNSPSC 85521641: Reposition hemiazygos vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition hemiazygos vein, 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 05S10ZZ

UNSPSC 85521641 Reposition hemiazygos vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to a specific surgical procedure, but the five recent opportunities posted under it span unrelated healthcare services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve repositioning a hemiazygos vein or surgical intervention of any kind. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual procurements suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or the code being used as a catch-all category for healthcare service contracts that do not align with standard medical procedure taxonomies.

The issuing bodies include a county consolidated government (Columbus, Georgia), two Florida counties (Collier and Monroe), a California county behavioral health department (San Mateo), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). Recent opportunities posted between February and April 2026 include the Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot RFP (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director RFP (due October 16, 2025). Activity spans the Southeast, Florida, and California, with no geographic concentration. Given the code's evident misuse in practice, firms should verify actual procurement intent through the issuing body's description rather than rely on the UNSPSC classification alone.
