UNSPSC 85521690: Occlusion of azygos vein with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of azygos vein with extraluminal 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 05L00CZ

UNSPSC 85521690 Occlusion of azygos vein with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally refers to a highly specialized vascular surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve vascular devices or surgical implants. Instead, the recent solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these services or products relate to azygos vein occlusion devices or open surgical approaches. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or use of an incorrect UNSPSC code for what are substantially healthcare management, staffing, and benefits-administration services.

The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of ferries operations), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), a municipal retirement system (City of Phoenix), and a city health benefits procurement office (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities post across multiple states—Washington, Florida, Arizona, California, and Texas—with no dominant geographic concentration. The recent solicitations include occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), pharmacy benefit management for Collier County covering approximately 2,400 employees (RFP 25-8414, originally due April 9, 2026), independent medical evaluation services for the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and a surgical benefit carve-out RFP from the City of Long Beach (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Given the complete disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code does not represent a productive procurement category for vendors offering vascular devices or related medical devices and should not be pursued based on current state and local activity.
