UNSPSC 85523400: Principal veins upper extremities, open approach-part D

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal veins of the upper extremities, open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 05.

UNSPSC 85523400 Principal veins upper extremities, open approach-part D is a Class code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The sourced opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve vascular procedures or treatment of principal veins in the upper extremities. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement; the tagging appears to be a classification mismatch rather than a signal of genuine demand in this procedure category.

The opportunities that are tagged to this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including county consolidated governments, county boards of commissioners, county health departments, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. However, because these solicitations do not reflect the actual scope of the UNSPSC code itself, they do not provide a reliable basis for assessing procurement patterns, issuing-body concentration, or geographic demand in vascular surgery or related medical procedures at the state and local level. Vendors evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for healthcare services they offer before pursuing opportunities listed under 85523400.
