UNSPSC 85523700: Principal veins upper extremities, percutaneous approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal veins of the upper extremities, percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 05.

UNSPSC 85523700 Principal veins upper extremities, percutaneous approach—part C is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The source shows no relevant procurement activity for vascular interventional procedures or related medical supplies and equipment. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health peer workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve percutaneous vascular access or treatment of upper extremity principal veins.

This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual opportunities suggests either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement system or a classification anomaly. The code shows no clear signal of active, recurring demand from state agencies, counties, cities, or other public bodies for the service category it nominally describes. Firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their offering rather than assume alignment based on the code name alone.
