UNSPSC 85521668: Release right subclavian vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right subclavian 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 05N50ZZ

UNSPSC 85521668 Release right subclavian vein, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the opportunities actually being solicited under this taxonomy code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve surgical intervention on the subclavian vein or any related procedural healthcare service that the code's nominal scope suggests. The mismatch between the code's stated purpose—a specific open surgical procedure—and the actual buying activity indicates that this code is being misapplied in the state and local procurement system to classify administrative healthcare contracting and service delivery, not operative clinical procedures.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida), a county health department (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department), spanning Georgia and Florida with one California opportunity. The geographic spread is limited, concentrated in Florida counties and with minimal recent activity. The representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spend); Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026; and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a fire department medical director due October 16, 2025. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes, making pursuit unlikely unless the misclassification is corrected at the source.
