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 055T0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522317 Destruction of right face vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal description does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect administrative healthcare services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve surgical destruction of facial veins or any surgical procedure. The code shows no relevant recent activity for the clinical service its title describes.

State and local procurement offices—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—have posted solicitations under this code for independent medical evaluations for disability retirement benefits, surgical benefits carve-outs, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error or a broad mis-application of this code to non-surgical health services. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
