UNSPSC 85521688: Occlusion of azygos vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of azygos 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 05L00ZZ

UNSPSC 85521688 Occlusion of azygos vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to a surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it are seeking healthcare administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and disability medical evaluation services—none of which involve vascular surgical intervention.

The mismatch suggests a cataloging error in the source data. Recent opportunities bearing this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). These solicitations span health plan administration, occupational health programs, specialty medical networks, pharmacy management, and clinical labor placement—domains orthogonal to surgical procedure coding. Without correction of the code assignment, this Commodity code yields no reliable procurement signal for vendors in vascular surgery, operating room supplies, or related perioperative services.
