This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left cephalic vein with intraluminal device, 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 05VF4DZ

UNSPSC 85524002 Restriction of left cephalic vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little relevant activity aligned with the code's procedural scope. The opportunities instead reflect general health services procurement — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the vascular intervention procedure the code nominally names. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities have been tagged to the code or that the code is not a reliable descriptor of actual state and local purchasing activity in this category.

The issuing bodies posting under the code span diverse jurisdiction types: city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), and county procurement offices (Collier County). The recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 show activity in Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with response dates concentrated between October 7 and October 20, 2026. Given the procedural mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope, vendors pursuing this code should verify code alignment before bid investment and may benefit from clarifying with issuers whether opportunities have been properly categorized.
