UNSPSC 85494403: Restriction of superior vena cava with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of superior vena cava with extraluminal device, 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 02VV0CZ

UNSPSC 85494403 Restriction of superior vena cava with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code whose title describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it show no alignment with that clinical scope. Instead, the code is being applied to a diverse range of health services procurement — medical record review and disability evaluation administration, surgical benefit carve-out network management, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vena cava restriction or surgical devices. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health consortiums, and county health systems. This mismatch between the code's nominal procedural description and the actual services being solicited suggests the code is either systematically miscoded by state and local procurement offices or has been repurposed in practice to capture a broader category of medical services administration and staffing.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (state level), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (medical record summarization and disability examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract value of $750,000), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (baseline and periodic examinations for shipyard, engine, deck, and asbestos team workers, due October 9, 2026, with a two-year term plus five optional one-year extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume). The code shows sporadic activity across dispersed jurisdictions with no identifiable concentration or repeat-buyer pattern.
