UNSPSC 85522117: Extirpation of matter from hemiazygos vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from hemiazygos 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 05C14ZZ

UNSPSC 85522117 Extirpation of matter from hemiazygos vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific vascular intervention the code describes. This systematic mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either persistent misclassification in state and local procurement systems or that the code is used as a catch-all for broader health services contracting that falls outside more conventional UNSPSC taxonomy for medical administration and staffing.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), large counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and major cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with health systems and public safety pension boards driving the majority of recent volume. Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The heterogeneity of these solicitations and their minimal alignment with the code's stated scope signal that this code is not a reliable indicator of current state and local procurement intent or market opportunity.
