UNSPSC 85531131: Occlusion of lower vein with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of lower vein with extraluminal device, open 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 06LY0CZ

UNSPSC 85531131 Occlusion of lower vein with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — venous occlusion using an extraluminal device — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks for employee benefits, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the procurement or provision of the specific medical device or surgical procedure the code names. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), but the work being bought bears no consistent relationship to lower-vein occlusion devices.

The geographic spread across the recent opportunities spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California, but the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that this Commodity code is not in active use for state and local procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit RFP (due October 7, 2026). None of these align with procurement of venous occlusion devices. Business development professionals should verify whether the code is correctly assigned to their target opportunities or whether a different UNSPSC code better describes the medical devices or services under pursuit.
