This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left 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 057F0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523340 Dilation of left cephalic vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under it involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency services for youth in custody — none of which are vascular surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a data-quality issue in how the opportunities were tagged to the UNSPSC taxonomy. State and local agencies are not soliciting dilation of cephalic vein procedures as procurable line items; they are purchasing health plan administration, occupational medicine programs, temporary staffing, and medical examination coordination.

No recent state and local opportunities directly matching the scope of this Commodity code have been identified. The issuing bodies in the dataset (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System) and the services they are actually procuring — benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, staffing, and managed care networks — fall outside the narrowly defined clinical procedure this code represents. When purchasing medical services at all, these agencies are acquiring administrative, occupational health, or staffing support rather than surgical procedures as goods or services to be contracted. Until the tagging or the code definition is corrected, this Commodity code should be considered dormant for state and local business development purposes.
