UNSPSC 85523237: Reposition left cephalic vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left cephalic 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 05SF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523237 Reposition left cephalic vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with the vascular surgical procedure the code nominates. The mismatch reflects either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of the UNSPSC taxonomy outside its intended application in state and local health care procurement.

The underlying opportunities themselves reflect active state and local buying in occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing across multiple jurisdictions: the Washington State Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office soliciting disability medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling and proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach requesting surgical benefit carve-out proposals for a Centers of Excellence network with October 7, 2026 deadline; Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management services with historical spend of approximately $8.7 million annually; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a non-exclusive vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across 13 ancillary categories. These solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but they do not track to the surgical procedure code under which they are nominally classified.
