UNSPSC 85524211: Supplement right basilic vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right basilic vein with synthetic substitute, 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 05UB4JZ

UNSPSC 85524211 Supplement right basilic vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows significant misalignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure with ICD-10-PCS coding—and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these services align with the vein-supplementation procedure the code nominally describes. The code appears to capture health services contracting broadly rather than the discrete procedural intervention its name suggests, indicating either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy mapping issue that obscures genuine medical service activity.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health departments, counties, cities, and special health districts—specifically the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with a due date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out management with a due date of October 7, 2026. Geographic activity centers in Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no clear concentration pattern. Given the mismatch between code definition and actual procurement content, this code presents limited strategic value for vendors seeking to pursue state and local health services opportunities aligned with their actual service offerings.
