UNSPSC 85521936: Dilation of azygos vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of azygos vein with intraluminal device, 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 05703DZ

UNSPSC 85521936 Dilation of azygos vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose scope—a specific medical device procedure code—does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve vein-dilation procedures or intraluminal devices. The code appears to be a data-entry or tagging error within state and local procurement systems; the opportunities reflect broad healthcare contracting (benefits administration, occupational health, emergency care, pharmacy management, and clinical staffing) rather than a specific endovascular intervention.

The issuing bodies span state health agencies, county governments, and municipal human resources and health departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical procedure nomenclature and the actual work being solicited—none of which involves the purchase or implantation of azygos vein dilation devices—this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for vendors specializing in cardiovascular medical devices or interventional radiology supplies. Firms evaluating this code should verify accurate UNSPSC tagging before pursuing opportunities; the current activity under this Commodity code reflects healthcare services administration and staffing rather than the procedure-specific device procurement the code nominally describes.
