UNSPSC 85522251: Occlusion of left face vein with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left face vein with extraluminal device, open 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 05LV0CZ

UNSPSC 85522251 Occlusion of left face vein with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure designation and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical intervention on a facial vein, but the six most recent opportunities posted under this code across state and local jurisdictions involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vascular occlusion procedures or device placements. The source material does not identify any state or local solicitations that actually procure the surgical service the code nominally names. This suggests either systematic misclassification in the underlying procurement systems or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader health services categories without reflecting the actual scope of work being purchased.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span diverse state and local health-care jurisdictions: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employees' health benefits purchasers (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention systems (Harris County), county health care consortiums (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic concentration appears across California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry shipyard and crew personnel across 14 locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program focused on Centers of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows active recent procurement volume but no alignment with its stated clinical scope.
