UNSPSC 85522016: Restriction of azygos vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of azygos vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05V04ZZ

UNSPSC 85522016 Restriction of azygos vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under it involve independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve restriction of the azygos vein or endoscopic procedures. This mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source material or a coding practice that does not reflect the work actually being procured.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). The solicitations span multiple states including Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with response dates clustered in September and October 2026. No pattern of repeat procurement under this code, no established contractor base, and no substantive link between the code's nominal scope and the services actually being solicited suggest that this Commodity code is not a reliable guide for business development in state and local medical contracting.
