UNSPSC 85523705: Extirpation of matter from left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 05CF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523705 Extirpation of matter from left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code are health benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, medical staffing pools, and disability retirement medical evaluations—none of which involve the vascular intervention procedure the code name describes. The mismatch suggests this code may have been misapplied by the issuing bodies, or state and local procurement offices are using it to classify broader health services procurement where classification precision is not enforced.

The opportunities that do appear span a mix of issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out and Center of Excellence network administration), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (inpatient and specialty care for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 active employees and 4,800 covered members), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The most concrete recent opportunity is the City of Phoenix's Independent Medical Evaluation Services RFP (RTMRFP26001), due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years for disability medical record review and physician examination coordination for public safety pension applicants. Given the code's misalignment with actual solicitations, the code should be considered inactive for procurement planning purposes.
