UNSPSC 85522822: Removal of intraluminal device from upper vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device from upper vein, 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 05PY0DZ

UNSPSC 85522822, Removal of intraluminal device from upper vein, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—specifically the percutaneous or open removal of a medical device (such as a catheter or stent) from an upper-body vein — yet the posted state and local solicitations tagged under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and inpatient specialty care coordination. None of these opportunities involve removal of intraluminal devices or surgical intervention. The tagging mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or a systematic misalignment between how this code is indexed and the actual goods and services state and local governments procure.

The issuing bodies include city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), county health systems and employee benefits programs (Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Long Beach), state departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and specialty medical networks. Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in a single state or jurisdiction. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work being solicited, a business development professional evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before committing resources to pursuit; the current taxonomy entry appears to mislabel a body of work that spans occupational health, employee benefits administration, and clinical staffing rather than surgical device removal.
