UNSPSC 85521902: Extirpation of matter from right subclavian vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 05C53ZZ

UNSPSC 85521902 Extirpation of matter from right subclavian vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under it reflect no procurement for that service or related vascular interventions. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency care for detained youth—none of which align with the extirpation procedure itself. This mismatch indicates either a classification error in the posting systems or that the code has been assigned to procurement records for which it is not appropriate. The recent opportunity mix spans state health systems, counties, and municipal retirement offices soliciting broader healthcare services and benefit administration rather than procedural capability.

The geographic spread includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational surveillance), California (Santa Clara County Health System temporary staffing, City of Long Beach surgical benefits), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Arizona (City of Phoenix disability medical evaluations). Because the code does not correlate with actual work being bought, it carries no decision relevance for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in vascular medicine, interventional radiology, or cardiac surgery services. Firms offering these clinical capabilities should verify their UNSPSC coding with procurement offices directly rather than relying on this code's recent activity.
