This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left axillary vein with drainage device, 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 059800Z

UNSPSC 85523337 Drainage of left axillary vein with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to tag medical and healthcare administration services with no meaningful connection to the code's clinical procedure nomenclature. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect vascular surgical interventions; instead, they address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care coordination through centers of excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth. State and local procurement offices are using this code to classify administrative and operational health services rather than specific clinical procedures, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's defined scope and actual procurement activity.

The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county human services departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal benefits departments (City of Long Beach), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 through an RFP; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 at a total maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical care carve-out benefit management proposals due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the consistent divergence between the code's nominal clinical scope and the administrative healthcare services actually being procured, this code warrants verification against the issuing agency's internal classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
