UNSPSC 85521818: Restriction of azygos vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of azygos vein with extraluminal device, 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 05V03CZ

UNSPSC 85521818 Restriction of azygos vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—percutaneous placement of an extraluminal device to restrict azygos vein flow—yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits programs, and youth detention medical services. None of these activities involve azygos vein restriction procedures or the implantable devices that would support them. State and local purchasing under this code does not reflect a coherent procurement pattern; the sourced opportunities appear mistagged or represent administrative classification errors rather than genuine demand for the procedure itself.

The recent solicitations—including the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing vehicle (due October 7, 2026)—reflect health-plan administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing procurement across state transportation, municipal pension systems, county human resources, and health-system operations, not procedural or device-based medical services. No opportunities in the source material describe purchasing for azygos vein procedures, vascular devices, or related interventional supplies. Pursue this code only if your firm operates in health-plan administration, occupational medicine networks, or public-sector health staffing; disregard it for procedural or medical-device sales.
