UNSPSC 85523518: Release right hand vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right hand vein, percutaneous 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 05NG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523518 Release right hand vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve vein-release procedures or percutaneous surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing body or that the code is being used to classify a broader family of health-care administration and staffing work rather than the specific procedure the code name denotes.

The issuing bodies span county health systems, county commissioners' procurement offices, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation agencies—a wide mix of municipal and county administrative and public health functions. Geographic activity includes California (Santa Clara County), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County, Long Beach), Washington (state DOT), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, deadline April 9, 2026—note: this date is in the past and appears to be a data error in the source). The code shows no relevant recent activity for firms focused on surgical procedures or percutaneous interventions.
