This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left 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 059A0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523332 "Drainage of left brachial vein, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. Recent solicitations posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these opportunities involves the specific surgical procedure named in the code.

The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems are applying this Commodity code to broader healthcare service categories rather than to the discrete surgical intervention the code nominally describes. Buyers pursuing work under this code should verify the actual scope against individual solicitation documents, as the code's UNSPSC designation does not reliably predict what services are being solicited. The recent activity spans multiple states (Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, Florida) and multiple issuing-body types (municipal retirement offices, city health plan administrators, state transportation agencies, county probation and health systems), but the diversity of services and the mismatch between code name and actual scope indicate that this code may be misapplied or overloaded within state and local systems.
