UNSPSC 85522829 Occlusion of upper vein, open approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between the code's clinical procedural scope and the state and local opportunities tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit vein-occlusion surgical services; instead, they request independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code appears to have been misapplied across multiple procurement contexts where medical administration, staffing, and benefit management are the actual deliverables rather than vascular surgical intervention. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under it, this code shows little relevant procurement activity for vendors offering vein-occlusion surgical services.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Recent opportunities range across RFPs for independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026 (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026 (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 (Washington State Ferries), and temporary health professional staffing qualifications due October 7, 2026 (Santa Clara). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but the procedural alignment to the stated commodity code remains absent across all posted opportunities. A vendor evaluating this code should treat the tagging inconsistency as a signal to verify code assignment directly with issuing bodies rather than rely on the nominal code definition.
