UNSPSC 85523543: Destruction of left hand vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 055H3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523543 Destruction of left hand vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no meaningful alignment to state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure, but state and local governments are soliciting administrative medical services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve destruction of left hand veins or percutaneous vascular intervention. The source shows a category mismatch: the code appears misapplied to the opportunities listed, which fall under health services administration and benefits management rather than specific clinical procedures.

The recent opportunities derive from diverse issuing bodies including city pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefit offices (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county corrections and health authorities (Harris County, Collier County), with response dates ranging from September through October 2026. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Because the code does not capture the work actually being bought, state and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for their purposes and reclassify opportunities by their actual service content—benefits administration, medical staffing, occupational health surveillance, or pharmacy management—rather than by the procedural code nominally assigned.
