UNSPSC 85522550: Occlusion of left face vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left face vein with extraluminal device, 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 05LV4CZ

UNSPSC 85522550 Occlusion of left face vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent solicitations posted under this code seek independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these categories involve occlusion of facial veins or the procedural infrastructure the code nominally describes. The disconnect suggests either a cataloging error at the posting source or that state and local procurement offices are using this code label for unrelated medical services and benefits administration work.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Because the code label bears no meaningful relationship to the work actually being solicited, prospective vendors should verify with issuing bodies whether future opportunities will continue to carry this code or whether it will be corrected to reflect the benefits administration, medical staffing, and occupational health services these jurisdictions are actually buying.
