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 05VA0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523207 Restriction of left brachial vein, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical interventions. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its taxonomic definition and actual procurement activity; the opportunities are administrative, preventive, and benefit-management services rather than the vascular surgery procedure the code name implies. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, county commissioners' offices, and cities. The issuing bodies are geographically distributed and represent a mix of operational healthcare delivery, employee benefits administration, and regulatory compliance functions rather than a concentrated procurement category.

Recent activity spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries medical surveillance, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluations, RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out, HR26753, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), Florida (Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty and emergency medical services RFI, 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). The code does not show coherent recent procurement momentum in a single product or service line; instead, it appears to be a miscategorization artifact in which diverse health-related services and benefit administration activities have been tagged to an outdated or incorrectly applied procedure code. Business development professionals should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this code, as the nominal scope and actual solicitation work diverge substantially.
