This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right hand vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05CG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85523936 Extirpation of matter from right hand vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the named procedure. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of general healthcare administration and staffing services in the recent record suggests either incorrect code assignment in the state and local procurement databases or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all for medical services procurement more broadly.

Issuing bodies over the past three months include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), multiple county governments (Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, Santa Clara County in California), and cities (Phoenix, Arizona and Long Beach, California). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations with a response date of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations in Washington, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Activity is concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Given the code's apparent misuse or overly broad application in the state and local database, business development professionals should verify the actual scope of work required in any opportunity tagged with this code before investing pursuit effort.
