UNSPSC 85523657: Occlusion of left cephalic vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left cephalic vein with extraluminal device, 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 05LF3CZ

UNSPSC 85523657 Occlusion of left cephalic vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific medical device implantation procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve vein occlusion devices or percutaneous vascular intervention. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code as a catch-all medical services classifier rather than using it to identify a discrete product or procedure; the tagging mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or a workflow error in the opportunity feed.

The recent opportunities originating under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations ($750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP (due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI (due September 25, 2026) for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, Collier County's RFP (due April 9, 2026 but posted August 20, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management covering $8.7 million in annual spending, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (due October 7, 2026) for temporary staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The issuing bodies span state agencies, county human-resources and health departments, municipal retirement offices, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated purpose and vendors evaluating this UNSPSC should verify the actual procurement target with the issuing body before pursuing.
