UNSPSC 85523317: Extirpation of matter from right cephalic vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 05CD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523317 Extirpation of matter from right cephalic vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities associated with it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the posted opportunities under this code are for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve extirpation or vascular procedures. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the procurement database or that the code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for health services generally.

The recent opportunities show activity across state departments, county boards, and municipal health systems in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summaries and scheduling of physician examinations for approximately 75 annual applications at a maximum of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requires baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations, with a two-year initial term and options to extend through five additional one-year periods. Given the code's mismatch with actual procured services, the code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes in medical procedure work.
