This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 057Y4ZZ

UNSPSC 85523040 Dilation of upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health peer workers, and medical director services for a municipal fire department. None of these solicitations involve vascular dilation procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions; the code appears to have been misapplied to general healthcare and medical management procurements rather than the specific clinical procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County, San Mateo County) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica), spanning Georgia, Florida, and California. The recent opportunities cluster around administrative healthcare services—pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, behavioral health support, and medical direction—rather than procedural medical supplies or equipment. The geographic spread reflects scattered activity across multiple states with no dominant jurisdiction. Given the clear disconnect between the code's intended scope and the work actually being solicited under it, vendors pursuing clinical procedure–related contracts should verify code assignment before responding to opportunities tagged here, as misclassification appears systemic in the current posting cycle.
