UNSPSC 85523649: Release left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left cephalic 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 05NF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523649 Release left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical or clinical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it span inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the procurement of a left cephalic vein release procedure. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the breadth of health services procurement actually being sought suggests either systematic miscoding of health services opportunities or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the contracting they conduct.

State and local issuing bodies posting these opportunities include county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and benefits offices (Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health divisions (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Recent RFPs and RFQs span inmate healthcare staffing and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit management administration for employee health plans (due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care platform services (due April 16, 2026), peer support mental health services (due July 2, 2025), and fire department medical director services (due October 16, 2025). Geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, California, and reflects a mix of county and municipal issuing bodies rather than concentrated state-level procurement. The code itself does not appear to drive meaningful procurement signals for vendors targeting state and local health services contracting — the opportunities present substantive buying activity in health administration and clinical services, but the code's procedural specificity does not align with how these jurisdictions structure and solicit health services work.
