UNSPSC 85523238: Reposition right 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 05SD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523238 Reposition right cephalic vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the cephalic vein—does not match the work actually being solicited under this classification in available records.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve vein repositioning or operative vascular surgery. The persistent mismatch between the code's technical name and the diverse healthcare administration, occupational health, and staffing services appearing in the solicitation records suggests the code may be misapplied to state and local procurement or carries an outdated or inaccurate descriptor in the taxonomy as it is currently used in the field. State and local buyers should verify the correct code family for healthcare contracting activity; this Commodity code does not serve as a reliable filter for vascular surgery or related clinical services procurement.
