UNSPSC 85524015: Restriction of left axillary vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left axillary vein with extraluminal 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 05V84CZ

UNSPSC 85524015 Restriction of left axillary vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted against it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve axillary vein restriction procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. The issuing bodies range across state health agencies, county departments, cities, and health systems, but the work being solicited appears to be administrative health services, medical staffing, and benefits management rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. This pattern suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services contracts that do not fit other UNSPSC categories.

Recent opportunities span Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out for approximately 3,800 enrolled members, due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing pool, due October 7, 2026), Arizona (City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations totaling $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical spending near $8.7 million annually, with the posted due date of April 9, 2026 appearing to be a data error), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity — the mismatch between the procedure descriptor and the health services opportunities suggests this code is not an appropriate classification path for state and local procurement in the healthcare services space.
