UNSPSC 85522828: Release 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 05NY0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522828 Release upper vein, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The source shows no opportunities that actually involve surgical procedures or vascular interventions; instead, the six most recent solicitations tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the procedural work the code nominally describes. State and local procurement systems appear to have misclassified these health administration and staffing opportunities under a surgical procedure code, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual buying activity.

The issuing bodies include city and county pension boards (Phoenix), municipal health benefits administrators (Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), regional health systems (Santa Clara County), and special taxing entities (health consortia). Geographic representation spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington across recent postings from July through September 2026. Without opportunities that actually track to vascular or surgical interventions under this code, the Commodity shows no meaningful recent activity for vendors whose core business centers on procedural medical services.
