UNSPSC 85523240: Reposition right brachial vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right brachial 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 05S90ZZ

UNSPSC 85523240 Reposition right brachial vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal clinical scope—a surgical repositioning procedure—does not align with the medical services state and local governments are actually procuring under this code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out network management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing. These procurements reflect health plan administration, occupational health compliance, public sector medical contracting, and clinical workforce solutions rather than the specific vascular surgical intervention the code describes. The issuing bodies include city pension boards, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile detention authorities, and county human resources divisions. The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the scope of actual work solicited suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental disconnect between the taxonomy and contemporary state and local health-service procurement patterns.

Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract value); the City of Long Beach soliciting a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's relevance to active procurement opportunity appears limited; prospective bidders should verify the intended UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before preparing responses.
