This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left 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 059F4ZZ

UNSPSC 85524125 Drainage of left cephalic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure performed on a named blood vessel—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent notices. State and local buyers posting opportunities tagged to this code are soliciting occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical care-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which involve the procedural intervention the code describes. The mismatch suggests either erroneous code assignment by issuing bodies or a gap between the code's technical taxonomy label and how procurement offices apply it in practice.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year term); the City of Long Beach (California) is seeking a surgical-procedure carve-out benefit vendor for its employee health plan (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026); Collier County (Florida) is managing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering $8.7 million in annual spend (deadline passed April 9, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) is building a qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody (due September 25, 2026). The code shows limited practical utility for business development targeting state and local health procurement.
