UNSPSC 85522900: Principal veins upper body, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal veins of the upper body, percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 05.

UNSPSC 85522900 Principal veins upper body, percutaneous approach is a Class code with little evident alignment to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve percutaneous venous access procedures or vascular intervention. The code's nominal scope concerns medical procedures on upper-body veins, yet the actual solicitations cover broader healthcare administration, pharmacy management, behavioral health support, and medical directorship roles. This mismatch suggests either systematic tagging drift within the source data or that the code does not describe state and local procurement in this category accurately.

The recent opportunities originate from Muscogee County, Georgia (inmate medical services RFP due May 15, 2026); Collier County, Florida (pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026); Monroe County, Florida (virtual care services RFP due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County, California (peer support pilot RFP due July 2, 2025); and Santa Monica, California (fire department medical director RFP due October 16, 2025). These represent county human resources, county health and social services departments, and municipal fire departments. Geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with no discernible concentration. The solicitations reflect healthcare administration and professional services procurement rather than clinical procedure codes. Practitioners pursuing activity under this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are actually using it for their intended services or whether the code warrants reconsideration in sourcing strategy.
