UNSPSC 85522400: Principal veins head and neck, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal veins of the head and neck with percutaneous 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 85522400 Principal veins head and neck, percutaneous approach is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical taxonomy name and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention healthcare services — none of which directly correspond to percutaneous vascular procedures on the head and neck. The code sees activity from county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation agencies, and county procurement offices sourcing medical services and health benefit administration rather than procedural or surgical capabilities. The mismatch suggests either category misclassification at the point of posting or mission creep in how the code is applied to broader healthcare contracting.

Recent opportunities post from Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) covering medical record summary and disability examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026) requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026) across 13 clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians. No recent opportunities directly match the code's stated scope of percutaneous vascular interventions.
