UNSPSC 85523149: Destruction of left hand vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 055H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523149 Destruction of left hand vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure name. The recent opportunities posted under this code are predominantly administrative health-services and staffing procurements — pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve the destruction of veins or surgical vascular procedures. This mismatch suggests the code may be miscoded in the source material or that state and local governments are tagging unrelated healthcare administration and professional services under an anatomically specific surgical procedure code.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, Santa Clara County in California), cities (Phoenix and Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026. Given the disconnect between the code's anatomical scope and the actual procurements, pursuing this code should be treated with caution unless the source material itself contains a classification error or your internal mapping confirms alignment with healthcare administration services.
