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 05NG0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523124 Release right hand vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-procedure naming scheme does not match the scope of work appearing in recent state and local solicitations tagged under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and related administrative healthcare services — none of which involve the specific procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad geographic and jurisdictional participation.

The source provides six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, though the connection between the code title and actual work is unclear and likely reflects classification drift or mislabeling at the point of posting. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Given the systematic mismatch between the code's procedure-specific nomenclature and the healthcare administration, occupational health, and staffing services actually being solicited, vendors should verify code alignment with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
