UNSPSC 85523275: Occlusion of left cephalic vein with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left cephalic vein with extraluminal device, 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 05LF0CZ

UNSPSC 85523275, Occlusion of left cephalic vein with extraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving vascular occlusion—does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local issuers under this classification.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent procurement of the medical device or surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy misalignment between UNSPSC's medical-procedure nomenclature and how state and local procurement offices classify health services contracts. The issuing bodies in the recent block include the City of Phoenix (disability pension medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (employee surgery benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing). No meaningful procurement activity under the code's stated scope is evident in current state and local market activity.
