UNSPSC 85523125: Occlusion of left hand vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 05LH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523125 "Occlusion of left hand vein, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a clinical procedure for vascular intervention; however, the most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks for government employees, emergency and inpatient services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve vein occlusion procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local system tagging these opportunities or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical scope and how jurisdictions are using it for procurement classification.

The opportunities that do appear under the code reflect a broader pattern of state and local health-services contracting: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical and specialty carve-out benefits under its Anthem PPO, due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). These jurisdictions — a city retirement system, state transportation agency, municipalities, county judicial authority, and regional health system — span administrative, operational, and clinical functions rather than surgical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated scope.
