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 05N80ZZ

UNSPSC 85523271 Release left axillary vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code, however, reflect no procurement activity aligned with that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code cover institutional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical vascular intervention. The mismatch between the code's nominal descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests this code captures little relevant procurement activity for vendors pursuing surgical or vascular services in the state and local market.

The issuing bodies in the recent record span county health and human services departments, county correctional facilities, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. The geographic spread includes Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, Muscogee County (Columbus) in Georgia, and San Mateo and Santa Monica jurisdictions in California. No repeat buyers appear in the recent opportunities, and the work itself — inmate medical services, employee pharmacy benefits, virtual primary care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical oversight — does not correspond to the code's stated procedure. Vendors evaluating this code should verify the assignment before investing in pursuit, as the taxonomy labeling appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement demand.
