UNSPSC 85523265 Repair left axillary vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve vascular surgical repair. State and local procurement offices have applied this code to a broad range of health services contracting that bears no substantive relationship to its narrow code name.

The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The issuing bodies posting under it include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city benefits administrator (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health system (Santa Clara), and a county benefits consortium (Collier County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with no clear concentration. Because the code's nominal definition—a specific surgical repair procedure—does not match the health services and staffing contracting actually occurring under it, business development professionals should treat this code as a misclassified or overbroad taxonomy entry rather than a reliable signal for procurement opportunity in vascular surgery.
