UNSPSC 85522100: Principal veins chest or thorax, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal veins of the chest and thorax with percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 05.

UNSPSC 85522100 Principal veins chest or thorax, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part B is a Class code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it show little alignment with the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The opportunities instead reflect a mix of occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which correspond to percutaneous endoscopic procedures on thoracic veins. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county human resources departments (Collier County), transit authorities (Washington State Ferries via the Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipalities (City of Long Beach), and county juvenile justice systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). No issuing body appears more than once in the recent activity block.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single state or region dominating recent solicitation activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations statewide, with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories with a response date of October 7, 2026. The code shows measurable state and local procurement activity, but the mismatch between the code's medical procedure name and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or use of this code as a catch-all classification for occupational and administrative medical services.
