UNSPSC 85522935: Excision of upper vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of upper vein, percutaneous 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 05BY3ZZ

UNSPSC 85522935 Excision of upper vein, percutaneous approach (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit management through centers of excellence, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly map to the venous excision procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices classify health services contracting in practice. No recent solicitations specifically procure venous excision services or the clinical procedures the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), and county healthcare consortiums (Collier County). Geographic concentration includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with the only identifiable repeat activity in California through the City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara. The representative opportunities range from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years) to the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations. This code does not serve as a reliable procurement signal for clinical service vendors in the health services market segment.
