UNSPSC 85522811: Restriction of upper vein with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of upper vein with extraluminal device, 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 05VY0CZ

UNSPSC 85522811 Restriction of upper vein with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific vascular surgery procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with that clinical scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve venous restriction devices or open surgical approaches. The issuing bodies include a city retirement board (Phoenix), two municipal health purchasers (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile justice system (Harris County), and a county benefits administrator (Collier County), suggesting the code has been misapplied across disparate healthcare procurement functions.

The geographic spread spans California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. No recent opportunities identified in the source record actually procure the procedure, device, or surgical service the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's title and the substantive scope of work being solicited indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing procurement offices or a data artifact in how opportunities were tagged. For business development purposes, this code should be treated as showing no relevant recent activity in its intended domain; firms pursuing state and local medical device, surgical supply, or procedural services contracts should verify actual opportunity scope through primary source review rather than rely on this code classification.
