UNSPSC 85521904: Extirpation of matter from right innominate vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 05C33ZZ

UNSPSC 85521904 Extirpation of matter from right innominate vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure classification and the medical services state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect procurement of independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty inpatient care for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific vascular intervention the code nominally describes. State and local issuers range from county pension boards and municipal employee benefits offices to state transportation departments, county health systems, and juvenile probation departments. The Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting proposals for disability medical record summary preparation and independent medical and psychiatric examinations ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), while the Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (due October 9, 2026). The City of Long Beach is procuring surgical Centers of Excellence networks for bundled orthopedic and specialty procedures (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026).

Activity under this code spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, with no particular concentration in any single state or region. The recent opportunities reflect a broad, geographically dispersed mix of municipal, county, and regional health system buyers rather than a concentrated procurement pattern. The procedural and substantive mismatch between the code's vascular-intervention title and the actual services being solicited — medical evaluation administration, occupational health monitoring, benefits plan carve-outs, and temporary clinical staffing — suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all for healthcare services procurement. Firms pursuing work under this code should treat the issued opportunities themselves as the governing scope rather than the code name and monitor whether this category continues to attract healthcare-services work or whether future activity realigns with the code's stated clinical procedure.
