UNSPSC 85521848: Repair azygos 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 05Q03ZZ

UNSPSC 85521848 Repair azygos vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure — percutaneous repair of the azygos vein — but the five most recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations contemplate or reference azygos vein repair or the interventional vascular procedures the code describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices apply medical service codes in practice.

The source contains no recent state and local opportunities that actually solicit repair services for the azygos vein or related interventional vascular procedures. The five postings named — from Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) — address healthcare administration, insurance management, and medical staffing, not surgical or interventional services. Without evidence of substantive procurement activity under this code's actual scope, the code does not signal near-term opportunity for firms providing or supporting azygos vein repair services to state or local public bodies.
