UNSPSC 85494738: Release superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic 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 02NV4ZZ

UNSPSC 85494738 Release superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems with no current relevance to actual purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical director contracts—bear no relationship to superior vena cava release procedures or any endoscopic vascular intervention. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) does not match the scope of work being solicited in practice.

The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the opportunities recorded against it suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or misalignment in how this code is being applied by issuing bodies. No recent solicitations seek supplies, equipment, or services for superior vena cava release or related endovascular procedures. State and local governments do procure comprehensive healthcare services—as evidenced by the Muscogee County Prison medical contract (RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026) and Monroe County's virtual care services (RFP, due April 16, 2026)—but those purchases are properly classified under healthcare delivery codes, not procedural surgery codes. Practitioners evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification if pursuing healthcare-related contracts.
