UNSPSC 85523301: Insertion of infusion device into left cephalic vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into 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 05HF03Z

UNSPSC 85523301 Insertion of infusion device into left cephalic vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities tagged under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan, virtual primary and urgent care services for a county, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — involve healthcare administration, care coordination, and clinical management rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure name and the actual work being solicited indicates either systematic miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or use of the code as a catch-all for health services procurement where more precise codes do not align with the issuing body's taxonomy.

The recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies — Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California) — but none represent procurement of the infusion device insertion procedure itself. The geographic distribution across four states and the absence of any opportunity actually seeking the coded commodity suggest this code has little direct relevance to active state and local contracting. Firms pursuing healthcare-related state and local work should verify coding alignment with issuing bodies before allocating business development resources to this code.
