UNSPSC 85521754 Destruction of azygos vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows minimal relevant recent opportunities; the opportunities posted under this code involve employee health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which relate to surgical destruction of the azygos vein or surgical services generally. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or that this surgical procedure code is not being actively solicited by state and local buyers at present.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span multiple issuing bodies and service lines unrelated to the code's surgical scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for its employee health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. No state or local buyer appears to be soliciting azygos vein destruction or related surgical services under this code currently.
