UNSPSC 85523268: Release right cephalic vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 05ND0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523268 Release right cephalic vein, open approach is a Commodity code that names a single surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local activity tagged under it does not involve surgical vein release. Instead, the code shows activity across occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities solicited suggests either systematic misclassification in state and local procurement systems or that this code does not describe the work actually being bought under it. State and local issuers—including county retirement boards, cities, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and regional health systems—are using this taxonomy label to describe general medical administration, clinical staffing, and benefits management rather than a specific surgical procedure.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefits (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFQ RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits for its PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the systematic disconnect between code definition and actual procurement content, pursue this code only when the specific opportunity description—not the taxonomy label—aligns with your service capability.
