UNSPSC 85524149: Destruction of left cephalic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 055F4ZZ

UNSPSC 85524149 Destruction of left cephalic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. The opportunities solicited include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve destruction of a cephalic vein or endoscopic procedures. The issuing bodies span a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal government (Long Beach), state transportation department (Washington), county juvenile justice (Harris County), county government (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County), reflecting fragmented sourcing across diverse public-sector jurisdictions. The work being solicited ranges from medical record review and disability evaluation coordination to network management, occupational health compliance, and staffing placement, all upstream or ancillary to direct clinical procedure delivery.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific regions—Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County)—with no clear repeat issuers or dominant procurement pattern. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) supporting disability determinations for public-safety pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional five-year extensions); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch; the opportunities do not substantively reflect the code's procedural surgical description.
