UNSPSC 85523308: Insertion of intraluminal device into left axillary vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into left 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 05H80DZ

UNSPSC 85523308 "Insertion of intraluminal device into left axillary vein, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular access device placement; however, the recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferries workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and related medical services—are fundamentally misaligned with the code's narrowly clinical scope and do not represent procurement of the intraluminal device or procedure itself.

State and local issuers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington have posted opportunities for health program administration, professional staffing, and medical service coordination rather than medical devices or surgical interventions. The code does not appear to reflect actual procurement practice in state and local government at this time, and firms evaluating whether to pursue opportunities under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing body, as the mismatch between the code name and the services being solicited suggests systematic miscategorization in the source data.
