This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right cephalic vein with intraluminal device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85523205 Restriction of right cephalic vein with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical procedure rather than a product or service category state and local governments routinely procure. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the code's nominal scope—none involve vascular surgery, medical devices, or the procedural work the code name suggests. Instead, the tagged solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth.

The mismatch between code name and actual buying activity is significant. State and local healthcare purchasers do not typically use this Commodity code to solicit vascular surgery services or related devices. The opportunities reflect broader occupational health, benefits administration, and staffing procurement across state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, RFP20260825), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026, RTMRFP26001), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits administration (proposals due October 7, 2026, HR26753). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated definition; procurement professionals should verify the correct code before pursuing opportunities in this category.
