UNSPSC 85531206: Revision of infusion device in lower vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of infusion device in lower vein, percutaneous 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 06WY33Z

UNSPSC 85531206 Revision of infusion device in lower vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work in recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The few opportunities surfaced—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are health-care administration, staffing, and program-management services, not devices, procedures, or interventional medical work. The code's nominal scope (revision of a specific vascular access device via percutaneous approach) does not match any of the actual solicitations.

State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent opportunity. The miscoding of the opportunities listed above—which span Phoenix pension boards, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County health systems—suggests either a tagging error in the source data or fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy entry and how this code is being applied in practice by these jurisdictions.
