UNSPSC 85494658: Extirpation of matter from superior vena cava, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from superior vena cava, percutaneous 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 02CV3ZZ

UNSPSC 85494658 Extirpation of matter from superior vena cava, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not align with the clinical procedure its name denotes. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and independent medical examination coordination — none of which involve percutaneous vena cava interventions. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. This code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being bought under it in the state and local market.

The geographic spread across recent activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, posted August 25, 2026 with responses due October 9, 2026 (RFP, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, posted September 16, 2026 with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RFP, $750,000 maximum over five years); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, posted July 7, 2026 with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code's application in state and local procurement appears to reflect administrative or benefits-related medical services rather than surgical intervention and warrants clarification of the actual intended scope before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
