UNSPSC 85523273: Occlusion of left 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 05LF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523273 Occlusion of left cephalic vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — the medical occlusion of a vein — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, disability medical evaluations, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve vein occlusion procedures or relate to the surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or a broader tagging problem at the code level. State and local health departments, county pension systems, cities, and transit authorities appear to have applied this code to health administration and staffing services rather than to clinical procedures themselves.

Given the absence of relevant recent activity under this code's nominal scope, no meaningful market characterization is possible. The code shows little evidence of active state and local procurement for the specific service it purports to describe. Business development professionals should verify whether this code actually corresponds to their target service offering, as the recent opportunities tagged here do not reflect procurement for vein occlusion or related vascular surgical procedures.
