UNSPSC 85521713: Extirpation of matter from left subclavian vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 05C60ZZ

UNSPSC 85521713 Extirpation of matter from left subclavian vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to any of the recent state and local contract opportunities on file. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve extirpation of matter from the left subclavian vein or match the procedural scope the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's title and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-entry or classification error on the issuing bodies' side, or that the code is being misapplied as a catch-all for broader medical and health services procurement. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical procedure. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for health services and medical staffing work in their target markets rather than rely on this code.
