UNSPSC 85641946: Insertion of vascular access device into right upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of vascular access device into right upper 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 0JHD0XZ

UNSPSC 85641946 Insertion of vascular access device into right upper arm subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its procedural title and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code include occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular access device insertion. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly or as a catch-all label for broad health services procurement, not for the specific surgical procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human services departments (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city benefits procurement (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code's heavy tagging with health services procurement that bears no relation to vascular access procedures suggests either systematic miscoding in the source system or use of the code as a generic health services category that does not reflect actual commodity scope.
