About UNSPSC 85521700
UNSPSC 85521700 Principal veins chest or thorax, open approach-part B is a Class code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure code, yet the recent solicitations posted under it involve healthcare administration and service delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these opportunities involve the surgical procedure the code name describes. The issuing bodies represent a fragmented mix of county and municipal health and human services departments: Muscogee County (Georgia) Prison, Collier County (Florida) Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County (Florida) Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County (California) Health, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California). The geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida, and California with no identifiable concentration.
Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison for approximately 576 offenders, with the current monthly cost at $95,537.71 and a two-year contract term with three optional one-year renewals; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary care and 24/7 urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members; San Mateo County BHRS's RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services with total funding of $580,000 over three years; and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP 455 for a fire department medical director. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's clinical nomenclature and the procurement activity posted under it suggests a coding error in the source data rather than a legitimate market signal for this code.
