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 05QF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523261 Repair left cephalic vein, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's nominal medical procedure scope; instead, the opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational health, pharmacy benefits management, and staffing services that do not center on vascular surgical repair. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested surgical carve-out benefit management for Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. This code shows little recent relevant activity aligned with its stated procedure designation.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida, reflecting activity across multiple state and local jurisdictions including city retirement boards, municipal health benefits administrators, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and county human resources divisions. The most recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) with a $750,000 five-year contract value, the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFSQ (due October 7, 2026). The code's apparent mismatch with actual procurement activity warrants clarification of how this specific vascular surgical procedure code is being applied in state and local practice.
