UNSPSC 85523706: Extirpation of matter from right cephalic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 05CD3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523706 Extirpation of matter from right cephalic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it are purchasing occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and related administrative medical services — none of which constitute or include vascular intervention at the cephalic vein. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a taxonomic misalignment between UNSPSC's medical procedure codes and how state and local procurement offices classify broader health services procurement.

No state and local solicitations in the source represent the clinical service described by the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies in the source—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are all procuring administrative, staffing, network management, and surveillance services rather than direct surgical or interventional procedures. Without solicitations actually purchasing services under this specific UNSPSC code, pursuit is not recommended at this time.
