UNSPSC 85523150 Destruction of right hand vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code does not align with the range of health services and staffing support contracts recently solicited by state and local jurisdictions. Recent opportunities tagged under this code cover independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), a transit authority (Washington State Ferries via the Washington State Department of Transportation), and a city health services purchaser (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services related to public safety pension disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen ferry locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's vendor-pool solicitation (due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories. Activity is concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. The code's mismatch with actual procurement scope suggests that tagging error or misclassification is present in these records; state and local procurement professionals should verify the underlying clinical or administrative service required before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
