UNSPSC 85523708: Extirpation of matter from right brachial vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right brachial 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 05C93ZZ

UNSPSC 85523708 Extirpation of matter from right brachial vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care-out networks, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve vascular intervention or the specific procedural work the code names. State and local governments do solicit medical services through UNSPSC taxonomy, but the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding or abandonment of this particular commodity classification for relevant procurement activity.

The geographic spread of the unrelated opportunities spans Washington State (occupational surveillance with Washington State Ferries), Arizona (Phoenix retirement disability evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical networks and Santa Clara temporary staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefits), and Texas (Harris County juvenile detention services). The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county governments, city procurement offices, and county health systems. This diversity underscores that the code itself reports little decision-relevant signal for suppliers in vascular surgery, vein procedures, or related clinical interventions—practitioners in those domains would serve better by monitoring codes that capture the full pathway of surgical or interventional services rather than this overly narrow Commodity specification.
