UNSPSC 85523947: Destruction of left hand vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 055H4ZZ

UNSPSC 85523947 Destruction of left hand vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated medical procedure classification. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are medical and occupational health services solicitations that do not align with the procedural specificity of the code's title. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach is seeking a surgical carve-out benefit program manager for Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries) is procuring occupational medical surveillance services; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is seeking pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations directly address percutaneous endoscopic destruction of left hand veins or any comparable procedure-specific clinical service.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county health systems, transit authorities, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The geographic and issuing-body spread reflects fragmented, episodic procurement interest rather than sustained activity under the code's procedural definition. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific medical procedure) and the recent opportunities (general medical evaluation, health benefits administration, and staffing) suggests that state and local procurement offices may be applying this code inconsistently or that the code does not capture a material volume of state and local contract activity. Vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should verify whether recent RFPs and RFQs in their target jurisdictions are actually seeking the specific procedural service the code describes, rather than assuming the posted opportunities reflect genuine market demand for that service line.
