This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left innominate 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 05B40ZZ

UNSPSC 85521721 Excision of left innominate vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and medical direction for emergency services — none of which involve surgical procedures or venous excision. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly to healthcare service contracts that fall outside its nominal surgical scope.

The recent activity shows issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and government types — a county consolidated government, a county board of commissioners, a county behavioral health department, and a city fire department — posting RFPs for healthcare services. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 628 for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services' RFP 2025-007 for peer support services, and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director. The geographic spread spans Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus), California (San Mateo, Santa Monica), and the code shows no pattern of recent legitimate surgical procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal description and actual solicitation scope signals either systematic miscoding by state and local procurement offices or data quality issues in the underlying taxonomy application.
