UNSPSC 85523717: Drainage of left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 059F3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523717 Drainage of left cephalic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve this clinical intervention; instead, they span medical evaluation and staffing services, pharmacy benefit management, and occupational health surveillance. The mismatch between the code's surgical scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is not reliably used by state and local procurement offices for procedures of this type.

The recent opportunities instead reflect broader health-benefit and clinical-services procurement by municipalities, counties, and transit authorities. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determination (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested a surgical carve-out benefit program (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414); and Santa Clara County Health System established a multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with no clear geographic concentration. The code appears to be a data-classification error rather than an accurate procurement signal for surgical procedures.
