UNSPSC 85523742: Destruction of right cephalic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 055D3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523742 Destruction of right cephalic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical nomenclature describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent solicitations under this designation span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs—none of which involve vein destruction or percutaneous interventions. The issuing bodies posting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), suggesting the code may be misconfigured or used as a catch-all for diverse health service categories that lack more precise UNSPSC classification.

The code shows no recent opportunities that match its stated clinical scope. Activity concentrates in California (City of Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with contract values ranging from $750,000 over five years for the Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP to approximately $8.7 million annually for the Collier County pharmacy benefit management program. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026). The persistent mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the health services procurement it captures indicates this code warrants review; vendors should verify accurate UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
