UNSPSC 85523340: Dilation of left cephalic vein, open approach

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 does not match the state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve vascular dilation or surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests a classification error in the state and local procurement system rather than legitimate buying activity under the code's stated scope.

The recent opportunities that carry this code tag span county departments, municipal fire departments, and regional health authorities across Georgia, Florida, and California, covering administrative healthcare contracting (pharmacy benefit management, managed care services), clinical service delivery (prison medical services, virtual care), and specialized professional services (fire department medical direction, peer support programs). However, because these solicitations do not reflect the actual medical procedure described by the UNSPSC code number, the code shows no meaningful recent activity in its intended commodity scope and should not be pursued as a viable market segment for vascular surgical supplies or services.
