This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right subclavian vein, open approach.

UNSPSC 85521714, Extirpation of matter from right subclavian vein, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it encompass a broad range of occupational health, employee benefits administration, pension disability evaluations, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which involve vascular surgery or the procedural intervention the code nominates. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities, reflecting fragmented municipal and county health administration. The work being solicited includes independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and other non-surgical disciplines.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety retirees under a $750,000 five-year contract; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 ferry locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical roles including radiology, respiratory care, and surgical services. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities; the recent activity shows no procurement of vascular surgical procedures or related surgical supplies.
