UNSPSC 85523824: Occlusion of right basilic vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right basilic vein with extraluminal device, 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 05LB3CZ

UNSPSC 85523824 Occlusion of right basilic vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific vascular medical device procedure, yet recent opportunities solicited under this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgery benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve no procurement of vascular occlusion devices or related implantable medical hardware. The mismatch appears systematic; the recent opportunities reflect administrative health services, workforce staffing, and managed care contracting rather than supply of medical devices or interventional procedures themselves.

The issuing bodies tagging this code span state health systems (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division), county governments and health consortiums (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement and municipal employee health programs (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional public health authorities. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast states, with Phoenix, Long Beach, Santa Clara County (California), and Washington State dominating recent posts. Because the UNSPSC code designation does not reflect the substantive work being procured, practitioners should verify the actual scope of any opportunity tagged to this code before committing resources—the code itself does not reliably predict the category of goods or services state and local buyers are seeking.
