UNSPSC 85521906: Extirpation of matter from azygos vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 05C03ZZ

UNSPSC 85521906 Extirpation of matter from azygos vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a clinical cardiovascular intervention—bears no relationship to the recent state and local solicitations posted under it. The code shows no relevant recent activity; the opportunities tagged under it (independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs) are administrative, occupational health, staffing, and benefits-management functions unrelated to azygos vein procedures.

State and local buyers posting these opportunities—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are not procuring clinical intervention services. The code-tagging mismatch suggests either a data entry error or an overly broad categorization that conflates medical service administration with specific clinical procedures. Firms pursuing work in occupational health surveillance, employee benefits administration, or temporary clinical staffing should disregard this code and search under family or class codes aligned with those service lines rather than procedure-specific commodity codes.
