This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into left innominate vein, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85521878 (Insertion of infusion device into left innominate vein, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that describes a specific medical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with the procedure's technical scope. The opportunities instead reflect health insurance administration, occupational health surveillance, pension disability evaluation, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involves insertion of infusion devices. The code appears to have been misapplied to procurement activities that fall outside interventional cardiology or vascular medicine. State and local governments sourcing under this code are issuing RFPs and RFQs for health benefits management, medical examinations, and staffing services rather than procedural medical devices or related supplies.

Recent activity spans multiple states and local jurisdictions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a proposal deadline of October 16, 2026 and a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753) for surgical benefit carve-out administration due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries division issued an RFQ (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP (25-8414) for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending around $8.7 million; and the County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification pool due October 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code definition and actual procurement activity suggests vendors should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities under this commodity code.
