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

UNSPSC 85494770 Extirpation of matter from superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a severe mismatch between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the actual state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees, emergency and specialty inpatient care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve vena cava procedures or endoscopic interventions of any kind. The code appears to be a data-entry or taxonomy-assignment error rather than an active procurement category for state and local governments.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—span municipal pension boards, city employee health programs, state transportation agencies, county corrections and human services, and county health systems. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. No two recent solicitations under this code code reflect the same procurement need, and none align with the code's stated procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity and likely requires correction in the issuing bodies' procurement-taxonomy systems.
