This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right face vein, 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 055T4ZZ

UNSPSC 85522618 Destruction of right face vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local government purchasing activity. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this designation involve procurement of occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve destruction of facial veins or percutaneous endoscopic approaches. The mismatch indicates either a data-classification error or that the code is being used as a generic catch-all for health services procurement outside its intended scope.

The opportunities that are tagged under this code span diverse state and local 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. Recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity is dispersed across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Given the code's fundamental mismatch with the work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a viable pursuit opportunity for vendors in any specific medical or staffing discipline.
