UNSPSC 85523143: Drainage of right hand vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right 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 059G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523143 Drainage of right hand vein, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with this clinical taxonomy. The six most-recent opportunities posted under this code across state and local agencies span occupational medical surveillance services, disability pension medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none involving drainage of a vein or open surgical approaches. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the originating procurement systems or a broad misapplication of the code to general health services procurement. State and local health plans, retirement boards, county health systems, and departments of transportation are the issuing bodies appearing in recent posts, but the code itself does not describe the work they are actually soliciting.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), though this distribution reflects the mismatch rather than true activity in the code's stated scope. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000). The code shows no meaningful recent activity genuinely aligned with its nominal definition; pursuing opportunities under this UNSPSC designation requires verification that individual postings reflect actual need and that the code assignment is correct.
