UNSPSC 85524150: Destruction of right cephalic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right 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 055D4ZZ

UNSPSC 85524150 Destruction of right cephalic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code center on occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the cephalic vein procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests this code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or that the opportunities are tagged incorrectly at the Commodity level.

The issuing bodies and geographic mix across recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), large counties (Harris County, Texas; Collier County, Florida; Santa Clara County, California), and cities (Phoenix, Arizona; Long Beach, California). The Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP, due October 16, 2026, targets approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract value; the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026, requires board-certified occupational medicine physicians across 14 ferry locations. These solicitations are administrative and occupational health in nature rather than procedural or surgical. No recent opportunities in the dataset explicitly procure cephalic vein destruction or endoscopic surgical services under this code.
