UNSPSC 85524044: Replacement of left cephalic vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left cephalic vein with synthetic substitute, 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 05RF4JZ

UNSPSC 85524044 Replacement of left cephalic vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The posted opportunities carrying this code tag do not reflect procurement of surgical procedures, medical devices, or vascular interventions as the code name suggests. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical network management for employee benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve cephalic vein replacement or the procedural surgery the code nominally describes. The mismatch indicates either misclassification by issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all for state and local health services that do not fit a more specific taxonomy tier.

The recent opportunities originate from state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and retirement offices (Santa Clara Health System, Collier County, Harris County), and municipal government (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity spanning Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, RFP), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation and disability record summarization for public safety pension applicants (due October 16, 2026, RFP, $750,000 maximum over five years), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code does not appear to support a coherent procurement category at the state and local level.
