This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 05LD3CZ

UNSPSC 85523660 Occlusion of right cephalic vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out programs, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly relate to vascular occlusion procedures or implantable devices. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipalities, spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. This code appears to reflect a taxonomy mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity for the specified procedure.

The most recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety pension applicants; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involve vascular procedures, implantable devices, or interventional vascular work. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured, this code does not represent a viable pursuit opportunity for vendors in the medical device or procedural intervention space.
