UNSPSC 85523533: Excision of left hand vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05BH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523533 Excision of left 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 posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical excision procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual services being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or a misapplication of the UNSPSC taxonomy to healthcare service contracting. State and local buyers appear to be using this code to tag general medical services and healthcare administration rather than procedural surgery.

Activity under this code has appeared in Georgia, Florida, and California in recent months, with the most recent opportunities posted between February and April 2026. The Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County, Georgia) issued an RFP due May 15, 2026, for inmate medical and pharmacy services at a correctional facility, with the current contract held by CorrectHealth Companies LLC at $95,537.71 monthly. Collier County, Florida issued an RFP due April 9, 2026, for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual spending near $8.7 million. Monroe County, Florida issued an RFP due April 16, 2026, for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members. The geographic and functional diversity of these opportunities—correctional healthcare, employee health plans, county employee virtual care—indicates that this code is being applied broadly across healthcare administration and management services without consistent alignment to its stated clinical procedure scope. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify the actual service scope in each RFP rather than relying on the UNSPSC code name alone.
