UNSPSC 85523731: Dilation of right cephalic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of 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 057D3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523731 Dilation of right cephalic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the recent opportunities posted against it, which span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and pediatric detention healthcare. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the UNSPSC taxonomy is being applied inconsistently across issuing bodies. The recent opportunities show no coherent commodity family being purchased; instead, they reflect healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit management services—categories remote from the clinical procedure named in the code itself.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's apparent misapplication, evaluating procurement intent or future volume under this code is not viable.
