UNSPSC 85523288: Occlusion of right axillary vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right axillary 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 05L70ZZ

UNSPSC 85523288 Occlusion of right axillary vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure itself. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vein occlusion surgery or match the code's stated clinical procedure. This mismatch suggests either a data-classification anomaly within the posting source or a systematic tagging error that has routed non-surgical healthcare procurement into a surgical-procedure code.

The issuing bodies in the recent records span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), along with county health systems—a typical mix for healthcare services procurement. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical evaluation services valued at $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits under its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with only a single August 2026 information request from Harris County. Given the disconnect between code name and procurement scope, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing these opportunities.
