UNSPSC 85523650: Release right cephalic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right 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 05ND3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523650 Release right cephalic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the opportunities tagged to it reflect medical services procurement across occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, and emergency care delivery — none of which involve the procedural intervention the code name specifies. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or use of the code as a placeholder for broader healthcare service categories that do not fit the code's literal scope.

The recent opportunities do show diverse issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — purchasing healthcare and medical staffing services across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. However, the activities being solicited (occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record summaries, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing pools, surgical carve-out networks, and detention facility emergency care) represent distinct service lines that would typically fall under separate UNSPSC Family or Class codes focused on healthcare administration, staffing services, or health insurance services, not surgical procedures. No pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated geographic activity emerges from these disparate solicitations. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity name.
