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 05QY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522819 Repair upper vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's technical name suggests surgical vascular repair, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, specialty surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgical repair or operative procedures. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement outside its intended commodity scope. State and local governments issuing under this code include city retirement offices, county commissioners, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile justice authorities.

Recent activity appears geographically dispersed across California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no dominant jurisdictional concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414) covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million. The code shows active recent posting velocity but fundamental mismatch with its stated commodity definition, signaling that pursuit should be grounded in actual work type—occupational health administration, benefits management, temporary clinical staffing—rather than the code's vascular surgery taxonomy.
