UNSPSC 85521717: Extirpation of matter from hemiazygos vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from hemiazygos 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 05C10ZZ

UNSPSC 85521717 Extirpation of matter from hemiazygos vein, open approach (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities solicited under this designation span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-out management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency medical services contracting—none of which involve vein surgery or surgical extirpation procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems have misclassified or reused as a catch-all for health services contracting.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), and county commissioners' procurement offices. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, across 14 state ferry locations), and the County of Santa Clara Health System multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows little decision relevance for vendors pursuing work related to its stated scope.
