UNSPSC 85494787: Destruction of superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 025V4ZZ

UNSPSC 85494787 Destruction of superior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific clinical procedure—percutaneous endoscopic destruction of the superior vena cava—yet the recent opportunities posted under it reflect administrative and occupational health contracting: independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefits carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health staffing. None of these solicitations involve the procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or repurposing of the code as a catch-all for health and medical services that do not fit the taxonomy precisely.

The recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies—city retirement offices and pension boards (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Ferries), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits programs (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara)—across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry locations statewide (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's procedural specificity and the operational-administrative nature of actual recent postings, firms pursuing this code face significant sourcing friction and should validate whether their service lines genuinely align with how state and local procurement offices are using this taxonomy element.
