UNSPSC 85523743: Destruction of left brachial vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 055A3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523743 Destruction of left brachial vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedural scope. The code's nominal taxonomy describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under it cover occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which constitute destruction of a left brachial vein or percutaneous vascular procedures. This mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error within the procurement systems or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC classification and how state and local issuers are deploying the code in practice.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension boards), City of Long Beach (employee health benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (detained-youth medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit administration), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Activity is concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, Washington State, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Phoenix's Independent Medical Evaluation Services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit record review and physician examinations; WSDOT's Occupational Medical Surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations; and the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out network RFP (due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence bundled procedures. Given the disconnect between the code's clinical procedural definition and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited, pursuit under this code should be approached with caution unless the issuer explicitly confirms the code classification during a clarification cycle.
