UNSPSC 85523040: Dilation of upper vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

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 between its nominal medical procedure title and the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary clinical staffing qualification pools, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve the specific vascular procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for health services administration and clinical support contracting rather than for any specific procedural intervention. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), large counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems, reflecting broad use across multiple jurisdiction types and governance structures.

Recent activity clusters in three western and one southeastern state. Washington State's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry system workers (due October 9, 2026) requires occupational-medicine board certification and multi-location scheduling across 14 ferry terminals; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) seeks disability record summarization and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension disability applications; and the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) targets Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for 3,800 covered employees and retirees. Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP, posted in August with an April 9, 2026 deadline, covers approximately $8.7 million in annual historical spend. Santa Clara County Health System is building a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 categories excluding nursing and physician services (proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the code's misalignment with posted work, this code warrants caution in bidding strategy—confirm scope alignment with the issuing jurisdiction before pursuit.
