UNSPSC 85522840 Drainage of upper vein with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for retirement disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefits management (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System)—represent healthcare administration, occupational medicine, staffing coordination, and benefits management services that fall outside the scope of a specific vascular surgical procedure. The code's nominal definition does not align with the purchasing activity these jurisdictions are actually conducting under the tag.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is not being used to solicit the vascular procedure it describes. State and local healthcare purchasing in the recent record focuses on administrative and clinical staffing services, benefit design and claims processing, and medical evaluation coordination—functions that belong in administrative healthcare services or staffing taxonomy rather than in a surgical procedure code. Vendors should not assume activity under this code based on these opportunities.
