UNSPSC 85521686: Occlusion of hemiazygos vein with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion 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 05L10DZ

UNSPSC 85521686 Occlusion of hemiazygos vein with intraluminal device, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code. The three recent state and local opportunities posted under this medical-procedure code — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations in Phoenix, surgical benefit carve-out networks for Long Beach city employees, occupational medical surveillance for Washington State Ferries personnel, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth in Harris County, pharmacy benefit management for Collier County, and temporary health professional staffing for Santa Clara Health System — represent general healthcare service procurement rather than the specific vascular surgical procedure the code nominates. State and local procurement offices appear to use this code inconsistently or as a catch-all for medical contracting rather than for the discrete vascular intervention it describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city human-resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile detention and health systems, and county purchasing divisions. The actual work being solicited — occupational medical surveillance, benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and disability medical evaluation — does not align with the code's nominal scope of a specific surgical procedure on the hemiazygos vein. This mismatch suggests the code is either underutilized for its intended purpose or misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing categories in state and local procurement systems.
