UNSPSC 85524100: Principal veins upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal veins of the upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 05.

UNSPSC 85524100 Principal veins upper extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach-part C is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its medical-procedure nomenclature and the recent state and local opportunities actually being procured under it. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pension-system disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve endoscopic vein procedures. The code appears to be a medical-taxonomy mislabeling in state and local procurement systems, suggesting that issuing bodies are either applying it incorrectly or that the UNSPSC mapping itself does not reflect the services being solicited. The work actually being bought includes occupational medical examinations, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, pharmacy administration, clinical staffing placement, specialty surgery networks, and emergency/inpatient care for detained populations.

The issuing bodies are primarily county and municipal health systems and government human resources operations, with the Washington State Department of Transportation also present. Geographic activity spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeking occupational-medicine-certified physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability record summarization and examination coordination on behalf of police and fire pension boards, with a $750,000 maximum over five years; the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for 13 ancillary clinical categories; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (258414, due April 9, 2026) with estimated historical annual spending of $8.7 million. Given the lack of procedural alignment between the code name and actual procurement activity, this code appears unsuitable for targeting endoscopic procedure vendors.
