UNSPSC 85523129: Occlusion of right hand vein with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right hand vein with intraluminal device, 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 05LG0DZ

UNSPSC 85523129 Occlusion of right hand vein with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that displays a significant mismatch between its clinical-procedure name and the state and local contract opportunities actually tagged under it. The recent solicitations—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span health plan administration, occupational health programs, and clinical staffing services. None involve vascular intervention or the specific procedural code the UNSPSC title describes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, city health plan administrators, state departments of transportation, county juvenile probation departments, county commissioners' offices, and county health systems—a mix typical of public-sector healthcare procurement but orthogonal to the code's nominal scope.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), reflecting national activity across multiple state and local jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, valued at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations, scored 40 percent on cost and 60 percent on capability; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, case-by-case basis with no guaranteed volume. The code's recent activity suggests that state and local procurement systems are either systematically miscoding health-related services under this clinical-procedure taxonomy entry or that the code has been repurposed in practice to flag broad health-services purchasing rather than specific procedural interventions.
