UNSPSC 85524224: Release right basilic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right basilic 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 05NB4ZZ

UNSPSC 85524224 Release right basilic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for retirement benefits, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve basilic vein release or endoscopic vascular intervention. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or as a placeholder across disparate health services categories that do not match the code's actual clinical scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities represent a mix of state health departments, counties, municipal retirement systems, and special-purpose health authorities: 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. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking physician-led examinations across 14 ferry terminals statewide; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the pronounced mismatch between the code's nominal procedure and the actual work being solicited, pursuit should focus on confirming accurate code assignment with the issuing body before responding.
