UNSPSC 85522270: Extirpation of matter from right face vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right face vein, 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 05CT0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522270 Extirpation of matter from right face vein, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — removal of material from a facial vein via open surgical approach — yet the six recent opportunities solicited under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical procedure networks, and emergency healthcare for detained youth. None of these procurements involve the surgical procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch reflects a cataloging or tagging error rather than a coherent procurement category, and the code shows little relevant activity for vendors offering surgical or venous intervention services.

The recent opportunities themselves span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments and special districts (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with proposal deadlines clustered between October 7 and October 16, 2026. No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration is evident from the narrow sample, and the work being solicited — administrative health services, staffing placement, benefit management, and procurement of third-party clinical networks — aligns with general healthcare administration rather than surgical intervention. Firms in occupational health surveillance, medical staffing placement, or health benefits consulting may find relevance in individual opportunities, but the UNSPSC code itself is not a reliable signal for sourcing activity in this domain.
