UNSPSC 85523674: Insertion of infusion device into left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into 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 05HF33Z

UNSPSC 85523674 Insertion of infusion device into left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a material mismatch between its medical-procedure code designation and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The opportunities include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, specialty emergency care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vascular access procedures or infusion-device placement. The code sees little relevant recent activity for procurement professionals seeking work aligned with its stated clinical scope.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no pattern suggesting concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026). The issuing bodies are cities, counties, state departments, and regional health systems; no pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the record. The fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical specificity and the scope of work actually being solicited suggests that the code assignment may reflect a data-entry error rather than genuine procurement demand for infusion-device insertion services at state and local level.
