UNSPSC 85523831: Extirpation of matter from left basilic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left basilic 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 05CC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523831 Extirpation of matter from left basilic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's clinical specificity—a narrowly defined vascular surgical procedure—does not align with the scope of work appearing in recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code. Recent solicitations instead reflect broad health professional services and benefit administration, including occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these represent procurement of a specific interventional vascular procedure.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent opportunities suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement tagging systems, or that vascular surgical services are not being actively procured at the state and local level under this classification. The recent solicitation records—from the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure networks), Harris County (youth detention medical services), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing)—indicate that state and local health-related procurement activity is concentrated in administrative services, staff augmentation, and network-based benefit management rather than specific surgical procedures. Business development professionals should verify current UNSPSC tagging practices with individual issuing bodies before treating this code as active for vascular intervention services procurement.
