UNSPSC 85494774: Excision of superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 02BV4ZZ

UNSPSC 85494774 Excision of superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve superior vena cava procedures or percutaneous endoscopic surgery. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification that has been misapplied to purchasing activity that spans health plan administration, occupational medicine compliance, medical staffing, and public health benefits design.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), counties (Harris, Collier, Santa Clara), and a state transportation department (Washington). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no meaningful alignment with the actual scope being procured, suggesting either a classification error in the source data or an institutional practice of using clinical procedure codes as catch-all categories for health services contracting that bears no relation to the Commodity's intended scope.
