UNSPSC 85523701: Extraction of left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of 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 05DF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523701 Extraction of left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical-procedure scope. The five recent opportunities posted under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management services, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental-health workers, and fire department medical director services — address healthcare administration, benefit management, and provider oversight, not vascular-access procedures or surgical extractions. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch reflecting how state and local procurement systems sometimes classify healthcare or medical-service solicitations without precision to the underlying UNSPSC definition.

State and local issuers pursuing healthcare services across the opportunities shown include county governments (Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and Santa Monica Fire Department in California) and specialized county health agencies (San Mateo County Health, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services). Recent RFPs span inmate healthcare delivery in Georgia (due May 15, 2026), pharmacy benefit administration in Florida (due April 9, 2026), virtual primary and urgent care in Florida (due April 16, 2026), peer-support services in California (due July 2, 2025), and medical-director recruitment for emergency medical services in California (due October 16, 2025). The geographic activity centers on California and Florida, with isolated activity in Georgia. The code's relevance to state and local procurement under its stated definition is minimal; practitioners should monitor whether the tagging reflects systematic misclassification of healthcare contracts or an isolated posting error.
