UNSPSC 85523713: Excision of left brachial vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 05BA3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523713 Excision of left brachial vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluation services for disability determination, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical procedures or venous intervention. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical technique, but state and local government procurement records show no recent activity matching that clinical procedure. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect healthcare administration, employee benefits management, and clinical staffing services that fall outside the code's stated surgical-intervention domain.

The mismatch between code title and actual procurement activity signals either a categorization error in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC 85523713 and the healthcare services state and local governments are currently buying. The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee-benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county detention services (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and regional county procurement offices (Collier County), representing diverse jurisdictional healthcare purchasing but no surgical procurement matching the code name. Without opportunities genuinely related to brachial vein excision or comparable procedural surgery, this code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local medical-services contracts.
