This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition azygos vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85522042 "Reposition azygos vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The five recent opportunities tagged with this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county health consortium, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—are administrative health care contracting and staffing solicitations that do not reflect procurement of the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments do not typically solicit or contract for individual clinical procedures through RFP or IFB processes; the misalignment between the code's narrow clinical specification and the actual scope of these health care administration and services contracts suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all for health care services that do not fit a more appropriate UNSPSC family.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida and Georgia) and a city fire department (Santa Monica), with one county behavioral health authority (San Mateo County), reflecting typical state and local health care and human services purchasers. Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and California with one Georgia solicitation; no pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated regional demand emerges from the recent record. Given the systematic mismatch between the code's clinical procedure description and the administrative and service-delivery work actually being procured, firms pursuing health care contracting opportunities should verify coding accuracy in solicitations before investing in proposal development, as this code appears to be an unreliable signal of genuine procurement need in the health care services space.
