UNSPSC 85494510: Destruction of superior vena cava, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of superior vena cava, 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 025V0ZZ

UNSPSC 85494510 Destruction of superior vena cava, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code classify services entirely unrelated to vascular surgery—including independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-outs for benefits plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. No recent solicitations tracked under this code actually procure destruction of superior vena cava procedures or related surgical services.

The mismatch indicates either a miscoding issue in the procurement records or the code being applied as a categorical catch-all for medical and health services procurement rather than as a procedure-specific line item. State and local buyers posting under this code—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—are seeking administrative health services, benefits management, staffing, and occupational health programs. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, vendors pursuing health-services opportunities should verify the precise service category through RFP documents rather than relying on the UNSPSC code alone.
