This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 055A0ZZ

UNSPSC 85523354 Destruction of left brachial vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve vascular surgical destruction; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, pediatric detention healthcare, and surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied incorrectly to these opportunities or serves as a catch-all for health services that do not fit elsewhere in the taxonomy. State and local issuers tagging work under this code include large municipal pension boards, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county human services departments. The scope as actually being bought encompasses medical record review and disability determination support, occupational surveillance with board-certified occupational physicians, specialty procedure networks, temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles, and inpatient and emergency care for youth in detention.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP on September 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001). The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31 (RFP20260825). The City of Long Beach issued an RFP on August 26, 2026 for surgical center-of-excellence networks, due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited proposals on July 7, 2026 for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI on August 24, 2026 for emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management on August 20, 2026, due April 9, 2026, with historical spending near $8.7 million annually. The prevalence of this code for health service procurement unrelated to vascular surgery suggests misclassification rather than consistent market activity under the stated commodity definition.
