UNSPSC 85521702: Insertion of infusion device into left subclavian vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into left 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 05H603Z

UNSPSC 85521702 Insertion of infusion device into left subclavian vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure — placement of a central venous catheter via open approach into the left subclavian vein — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits programs, and disability medical evaluation services. None of these solicitations involve the procurement or delivery of the infusion device procedure itself. The mismatch suggests the code is either incorrectly applied by posting agencies or used as a catch-all tag for healthcare-related services broader than the specific procedural intervention the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities originating under this code span state departments, county health systems, county corrections authorities, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for employees across 14 ferry locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability determinations with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000, Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (with an April 9, 2026 submission deadline based on historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians. This code shows limited recent activity directly tied to its procedural commodity definition and warrants verification before pursuit.
