UNSPSC 85523613: Restriction of left axillary vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left axillary 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 05V83ZZ

UNSPSC 85523613 Restriction of left axillary vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a scope that bears no meaningful connection to the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this tag. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure—percutaneous restriction of the left axillary vein—yet the recent opportunities assigned to it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention medical services. None of these solicitations involve axillary vein restriction procedures or procedures of similar specificity; rather, they represent administrative health services, medical logistics, and network management. This classification appears to be a tagging error or artifact rather than a coherent procurement category under active use by state and local buyers.

The issuing bodies range across state health systems (Washington State Department of Transportation via Washington State Ferries, County of Santa Clara Health System), county procurement offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose districts. No pattern of repeat purchasing emerges from these six recent solicitations. Geographic spread includes Washington State, California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, for disability benefit applications. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought, this code warrants investigation with the procuring jurisdiction to clarify the intended taxonomy or correct the classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
