UNSPSC 85524004: Restriction of right cephalic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right cephalic 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 05VD4ZZ

UNSPSC 85524004 Restriction of right cephalic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code. The six recent postings include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve the restriction of a cephalic vein or percutaneous endoscopic surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a classification misalignment in how the opportunities were indexed.

The recent opportunities do reflect broader state and local healthcare and employee benefits purchasing across multiple issuing bodies — city retirement offices, municipal HR departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, health systems, and counties — but they do not represent procurement under the code's stated surgical scope. Absent opportunities actually soliciting the procedure named in the code, this code presents no clear pursuit path for vendors specializing in vascular surgery or related interventions.
