UNSPSC 85523279: Occlusion of left brachial 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 05LA0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523279 Occlusion of left brachial vein, open approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure classification and the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty procedure carve-outs, youth detention healthcare coordination, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with surgical vein occlusion. The code does not describe state and local procurement activity currently underway.

The geographic and issuing-body patterns in the tagged opportunities span Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (WSDOT), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with a mix of municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's procedural specificity and the breadth of general healthcare administration and staffing work reflected in recent solicitations suggests either miscoding at the jurisdiction level or use of this code as a catch-all for health-services procurement. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify actual solicitation language directly rather than rely on the nominal code description.
