UNSPSC 85523424 Release right basilic vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the abstract code name. Instead, the opportunities span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—a fragmented set of healthcare administration and staffing activities rather than a single procedural service line. State and local buyers posting under this code include city retirement offices, county procurement divisions, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments. The scope of work reflects healthcare contracting broadly: occupational medical examinations aligned with regulatory compliance, independent medical record review and evaluation scheduling for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical procedure networks through Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit management and claims processing, temporary clinical staffing across ancillary specialties, and emergency medical services for detained youth.

The recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to support approximately 75 annual disability benefit determinations for public safety pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (response due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations statewide; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (response due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence management serving 3,800 active employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification solicitation (response due October 7, 2026) establishing a multiple-award vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive basis with no guaranteed volume. The code appears to serve as a catch-all for healthcare services rather than a precise taxonomic fit for any single procurement stream.
