UNSPSC 85523100: Principal veins upper extremities, open approach-part A

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal veins of the upper extremities, open 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 85523100 Principal veins upper extremities, open approach—part A is a Class code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The source shows zero recent solicitations for vascular surgical procedures, catheterization, or any clinical intervention matching the code's anatomical scope. The six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve principal-vein procedures in the upper extremities. The taxonomy mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing bodies or a broader categorization logic unrelated to procedural taxonomy.

The apparent-mismatch opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida across city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, juvenile probation departments, and municipal human resources functions. Without recent activity genuinely aligned to the code's stated scope, pursue assessment of this code should treat the current mismatch as a signal of either category disuse or systematic miscoding rather than genuine procurement demand for vascular intervention services at the state and local level.
