UNSPSC 85521912: Excision of azygos vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05B03ZZ

UNSPSC 85521912 Excision of azygos vein, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure code, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical centers of excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which align with the specific procedure named. The mismatch suggests either data-quality issues in how opportunities are being tagged to this code or that the code's scope as applied in state and local procurement differs materially from its clinical definition.

The recent opportunities that do appear under this code reflect broader healthcare service procurement: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations ($750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation seeks occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach seeks surgical center-of-excellence network management for employee health plans (RFP due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System seeks temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ due October 7, 2026). Activity spans state departments, county governments, and municipal agencies across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Without clear alignment between the code's procedural name and what is actually being procured, this code warrants verification against your internal data or UNSPSC administration before investment in pursuit.
