UNSPSC 85523313 Extraction of right cephalic vein, open approach is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity that actually matches its nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities tagged under this code in the source data—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a Georgia county jail, pharmacy benefit management for a Florida county, virtual primary and urgent care for a Florida county, peer support for mental health peer workers in California, and fire department medical director services in California—are health services administration, population health management, and behavioral health contracts that do not involve extraction of the cephalic vein or any surgical vein harvest procedure. The code appears to have been assigned to these opportunities in error or through a misfiling in the state and local procurement database.

No decision-relevant procurement activity exists under this code at present. Vendors evaluating state and local opportunity flow should note that the code shows a mismatch between its clinical taxonomy definition and the way state and local agencies are actually tagging health services contracts, signaling either a data-quality issue in the underlying procurement system or inconsistent coding practices across jurisdictions.
