UNSPSC 85523938: Excision of right hand vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05BG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85523938 Excision of right hand vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal medical procedure scope does not align with the actual opportunities posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code are instead requesting independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgery carve-outs for employee benefits programs, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vein excision or procedural surgery. State and local procurement offices appear to have misapplied the code to broader health benefits administration and staffing activities that fall outside its specific procedural definition.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems and departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits administrators (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope suggests the code is not a reliable filter for pursuing work in health services delivery, medical staffing, or employee benefits administration.
