This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of vascular access device into left lower arm 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 0JHH0XZ

UNSPSC 85641931 Insertion of vascular access device into left lower arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific clinical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to the code's nominal scope. The opportunities solicited cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involve the insertion of vascular access devices or the surgical procedure the code describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated definition.

The geographic spread of the opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), though the activities posted under this code appear to reflect a classification error or systematic mistagging in the source procurement systems rather than genuine demand for the clinical procedure itself. State and local procurement professionals should note that this code's recent opportunities do not correspond to vascular access device procurement or insertion services and should verify the applicable UNSPSC codes for the specific health services or staffing categories they seek to pursue.
