UNSPSC 85523350: Dilation of right axillary 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 05770ZZ

UNSPSC 85523350 Dilation of right axillary vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity shows no alignment with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluations, surgery benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are all administrative, operational, or procurement activities for health systems and retirement boards, not surgical or vascular interventions. The issuing bodies are a mix of city retirement offices (Phoenix), city employee benefits departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county juvenile justice and public health systems (Harris County, Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). None of the recent solicitations involve the performance, equipment, or supplies required for axillary vein dilation procedures.

Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas based on recent postings. The most substantial opportunities are the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (RFP 25-8414, initial term 2026–2028 with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending), the City of Long Beach's surgery benefit carve-out for Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, targeting April 2027 contract start), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year base with optional extensions through 2031). The code shows persistent mislabeling; state and local procurement offices appear to be applying a clinical procedure code to health administration and staffing contracts. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify that issuing bodies have correctly tagged actual procurement needs, as the recent activity suggests systematic taxonomic misclassification rather than genuine demand for the vascular procedure the code nominally describes.
