UNSPSC 85523319: Extirpation of matter from right brachial vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right brachial 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 05C90ZZ

UNSPSC 85523319 Extirpation of matter from right brachial vein, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to the code's nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical procedure. Instead, the opportunities solicited reflect health services administration, occupational medicine surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. No state or local procurement activity directly related to surgical extirpation procedures appears in the recent record.

The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure name and the actual work being bought suggests either a classification error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between this UNSPSC code's defined scope and state and local government purchasing practice. Procurement professionals evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the UNSPSC assignment with the issuing body before investing in pursuit. The recent opportunities—Phoenix Retirement Office requesting disability medical evaluations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries requesting occupational medical surveillance (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), City of Long Beach requesting surgical benefit management services (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Collier County requesting pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026)—represent healthcare administration and staffing work that falls outside the vascular surgery commodity description. Until the coding alignment improves, this code should be watched but not actively pursued for contract opportunity development.
