UNSPSC 85524133: Drainage of left axillary vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 05984ZZ

UNSPSC 85524133 Drainage of left axillary vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure nomenclature and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code bear no relationship to the specific surgical procedure named in the code; instead, they cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. This code does not appear to reflect genuine medical-procedure procurement—state and local governments do not solicit drainage of specific anatomical structures as discrete line-item purchases. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipalities managing employee benefits.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix retirement disability evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out; County of Santa Clara health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency medical services), with response dates concentrated in September and October 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) solicits baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard and vessel workers across 14 ferry system locations under supervision of board-certified occupational physicians; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summaries and physician examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications at $750,000 over five years. The code shows active procurement activity but no coherent alignment with the procedure name in the taxonomy—vendors pursuing opportunities here should treat the code as a mis-tagged category and focus on the specific service types (occupational health, benefits management, temporary staffing) rather than the anatomical procedure designation.
