UNSPSC 85521723: Excision of hemiazygos vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05B10ZZ

UNSPSC 85521723 Excision of hemiazygos vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code does not involve surgical excision or vascular procedures. The opportunities posted under this code address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare, emergency medical services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated medical procedure scope. This mismatch suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing surgical or vascular service contracting.

The six opportunities in the current pipeline span state departments, county health systems, county juvenile justice agencies, and municipal retirement offices across Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, but none are purchasing vascular surgical services or related medical supply chains. The Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services solicitation (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the most substantial recent postings by dollar volume and scope, yet both concern occupational health assessment and disability determination rather than surgical intervention. This code does not appear to be the correct taxonomy classification for state and local procurement opportunities in these health service categories, and business development professionals should verify the accuracy of code assignment before investing pursuit resources.
