This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of vascular access device into left upper leg subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open 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 0JHM0XZ

UNSPSC 85641919 Insertion of vascular access device into left upper leg subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to have no direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — the placement of a vascular access device — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services align with the procedural scope embedded in the code's clinical descriptor.

The mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being solicited suggests either a systematic cataloging error or a fundamental disconnect between how this code is being applied in state and local procurement systems and its intended clinical meaning. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have all tagged their solicitations with this code, yet none of them are procuring the specific vascular access procedure named in the code. Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, with activity occurring between late July and mid-September 2026. Given the absence of aligned recent opportunities, this code merits close review for potential recertification or retagging in your target jurisdictions' procurement systems before investing in pursuit.
