This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left innominate 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 05Q40ZZ

UNSPSC 85521663 Repair left innominate vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular repair, but the five most recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility (Muscogee County Prison, RFP due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit management services for a county employee health plan (Collier County, RFP due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care services for county members (Monroe County, RFP due April 16, 2026), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County, RFP due July 2, 2025), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica Fire Department, RFP due October 16, 2025)—represent administrative healthcare services, benefit management, and occupational health support rather than surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied to state and local health and social services contracting, which typically falls outside surgical procedure taxonomy.

The issuing bodies span county government (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica), with no pattern of repeat buyers under this code. Geographic activity appears scattered across California, Florida, and Georgia with no concentrated procurement region. Because the code's nominal scope—surgical vein repair—bears no relation to the actual opportunities being solicited, pursuit under this code is not practical; the misclassification indicates either data-entry error or deliberate category assignment by the issuing bodies for administrative convenience unrelated to the vendor's core service offerings.
