UNSPSC 85523844: Destruction of right basilic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 055B3ZZ

UNSPSC 85523844 Destruction of right basilic vein, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical nomenclature—naming a specific surgical procedure performed on a named anatomical structure—does not match the scope of work in recent opportunities tagged under it. State and local governments are not soliciting for individual surgical procedures coded to this level of anatomical specificity; instead, the recent opportunities span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical definition and how state and local procurement offices actually tag health-services opportunities.

The issuing bodies in the recent record span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). None of these opportunities involve procurement of the procedure named in the code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System issued a solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with a response date of October 7, 2026. The code appears to carry a taxonomic designation that does not reflect real procurement demand under its stated clinical scope.
