UNSPSC 85522018: Restriction of azygos vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of azygos vein with extraluminal device, 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 05V04CZ

UNSPSC 85522018 Restriction of azygos vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vascular intervention procedures or azygos vein treatment. The code appears to be a medical procedure taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems have misapplied to broader healthcare services and staffing solicitations. The issuing bodies represent a geographic and jurisdictional mix typical of state and local health benefits and occupational health procurement: state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose agencies (pension boards). No meaningful pattern of repeat buyers or procurement concentration emerges from the mismatch between the code and the work being bought.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, reflecting national geographic dispersion typical of state and local health services procurement. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST, historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million). The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors focused on the vascular procedures its title names.
