UNSPSC 85524123: Excision of left axillary vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left axillary 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 05B84ZZ

UNSPSC 85524123 Excision of left axillary vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's clinical procedure designation does not align with the medical and health services actually being solicited by state and local jurisdictions in the recent opportunity block. State and local procurement offices do not typically issue contracts for specific surgical procedures; instead, they solicit occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, employee health plan administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services—none of which map to the code's narrow procedural scope.

The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the work being bought. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP seeks disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services; the City of Long Beach requests surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicits occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department posts an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County seeks pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishes a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involve the procurement or delivery of the specific surgical procedure named in the code. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local contracting purposes and verify coding assignments when evaluating opportunities in the medical and health services space.
