UNSPSC 85524238: Excision of right basilic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05BB4ZZ

UNSPSC 85524238 Excision of right basilic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a substantial mismatch between its clinical-procedure code designation and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical intervention, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it reflect broader healthcare administration and staffing services — independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgery benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for youth in custody. These opportunities do not represent procurement of the named procedure itself. State and local governments are issuing these solicitations, not purchasing excision procedures as line-item commodities; the code appears to be a tagging artifact rather than a reflection of commodity-level procurement intent.

The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions and service models: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational surveillance), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits administration), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency medical services). Recent solicitations include an RFP from the City of Phoenix due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years), an RFP from Washington State Ferries due October 9, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations, and an RFQ from Santa Clara County Health System due October 7, 2026 establishing a multi-category temporary staffing pool. The code does not reflect a coherent commodity family under which state and local procurement professionals would reliably tag opportunities; business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for transactional procurement purposes and focus instead on the specific healthcare-services and staffing codes under which these jurisdictions are actually buying.
