UNSPSC 85521911: Excision of hemiazygos vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of hemiazygos 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 05B13ZZ

UNSPSC 85521911 Excision of hemiazygos vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—the percutaneous removal of the hemiazygos vein—yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities directly procures the procedural service the code nominally describes. State and local governments are instead using this code designation for healthcare administration, personnel placement, and medical benefits management services that fall outside the procedural scope implied by the code's name.

The geographic spread of these opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide via WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal benefits departments, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and county health systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferries locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. The code shows no recent activity meaningfully connected to its stated procedural definition.
