UNSPSC 85524140: Dilation of right cephalic vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right cephalic vein with intraluminal device, 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 057D4DZ

UNSPSC 85524140 Dilation of right cephalic vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific clinical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code by state and local issuing bodies do not reflect procurement of this service. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code target broader health-system contracting — pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary clinical staffing pools, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations request the vein dilation procedure named in the code itself, nor do they reflect procurement patterns aligned with this Commodity classification.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are either applying this code incorrectly or that the code does not serve the purchasing categories these jurisdictions use. Issuing bodies include California municipalities (Long Beach), Florida counties (Collier), Washington state transportation and health authorities, Texas county juvenile justice systems, and Arizona retirement boards. Response dates range from September through October 2026. Firms evaluating this code should verify the actual commodity or service lines they intend to pursue rather than relying on the UNSPSC designation alone; the divergence between code and opportunity indicates that procurement activity under 85524140 may reflect data-entry error or misclassification rather than genuine market demand for this specific procedure.
