UNSPSC 85521804: Restriction of right subclavian vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right subclavian vein, percutaneous 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 05V53ZZ

UNSPSC 85521804 Restriction of right subclavian vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little alignment with that clinical definition. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve subclavian vein restriction procedures. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies, rendering it an unreliable predictor of actual procurement activity in state and local markets.

The opportunities that do appear under this code involve health benefits administration and occupational health services rather than surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) sought independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations under an RFP posted September 16, 2026 with an October 16 deadline and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, requiring examinations by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine across 14 ferry locations statewide. The County of Santa Clara Health System (California) solicited a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with an October 7 deadline. Collier County, Florida posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; Harris County, Texas issued an RFI for hospital-based emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; and the City of Long Beach, California sought proposals for a surgical carve-out benefit program emphasizing Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures. Given the pervasive mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code warrants verification before resource commitment.
