UNSPSC 85523121: Repair left hand vein, open 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 05QH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523121 Repair left hand vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the source record. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical repair procedure—appears to reflect a healthcare taxonomy that state and local jurisdictions do not use for purchasing decisions. Recent opportunities tagged under this code instead target administrative and operational healthcare services that bear no relationship to surgical vein repair: occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth.

State and local buyers posting under this code span county health systems, county procurement offices on behalf of employee health plans, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, city retirement boards, and municipal human resources divisions—a mix of administrative, operational, and detention healthcare functions rather than clinical surgical services. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for disability medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's request for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool across multiple ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for firms pursuing surgical repair services or clinical procedural work; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities posted suggests either a coding error by the issuing bodies or a taxonomy misalignment that does not reflect actual state and local healthcare procurement.
