This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 05CH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523531 Extirpation of matter from left hand vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's medical-procedure taxonomy does not match the scope of work appearing in recent state and local solicitations tagged to it. Recent opportunities under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve percutaneous vein extraction or closely related procedural medicine. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits programs, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice authorities, county human resources divisions, and county health systems, suggesting the code is being used as a catch-all for health services contracting rather than a precise clinical taxonomy.

Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no single jurisdiction dominating recent solicitations. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026, represents the most operationally specific recent opportunity, calling for board-certified occupational medicine physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferry system personnel across 14 Washington locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP, due October 16, 2026, seeks disability medical record summarization and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual pension applications with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFP, due October 7, 2026, establishes a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories with no guaranteed volume. The code's sparse alignment with its stated scope and the absence of recent vein-extraction or related percutaneous-intervention solicitations suggest this code sees limited relevant activity in state and local procurement today.
