This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left innominate 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 05N43ZZ

UNSPSC 85521851 Release left innominate vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical procurement — instead, they cover comprehensive healthcare services delivery, pharmacy benefit management, and medical administration across correctional, county employee, and municipal fire department settings. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and actual buying activity, signaling that either the code was incorrectly applied to these opportunities or the code itself is rarely used for its stated purpose in state and local procurement. The recent solicitations focus on operational healthcare contracting — inmate medical and pharmacy services, employee pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — rather than surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. Issuing bodies include county correctional departments, county human resources and health departments, municipal fire departments, and county behavioral health divisions.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with one opportunity in California. The Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government) issued RFP 26-0008 due May 15, 2026, for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at an existing contract value of $95,537.71 monthly; Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP 25-8414 due April 9, 2026, for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million; Monroe County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP due April 16, 2026, for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members; and Santa Monica Fire Department issued RFP 455 due October 16, 2025, seeking a physician to serve as emergency medical services medical director. Given the persistent disconnect between the code's stated content and the healthcare-operations work actually being bought, the code warrants careful verification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it — the mislabeling suggests either data-quality issues upstream or that the code is genuinely inactive for surgical vascular procedures in state and local markets.
