UNSPSC 85521735: Drainage of azygos vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of azygos 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 05900ZZ

UNSPSC 85521735 Drainage of azygos vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most-recent-opportunities block contains no solicitations for surgical draining procedures or related clinical interventions. Instead, the posted opportunities span occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit plan administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve azygos vein drainage or match the code's clinical scope.

The mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the actual work being solicited suggests that this code either carries minimal state and local procurement volume, receives irregular tagging by issuing bodies, or is being applied incorrectly to broader health services categories. State and local government buyers in the recent sample (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System) are procuring administrative health services, network management, and staffing support rather than surgical procedures. Without evidence of recent opportunities specifically seeking azygos vein drainage or related open surgical interventions, the code presents no actionable activity for business development at this time.
