UNSPSC 85531208: Revision of drainage device in lower vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage 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 06WY30Z

UNSPSC 85531208 Revision of drainage device in lower vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific minimally invasive vascular procedure. However, recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no relationship to the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications (City of Phoenix), surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve vascular interventions, drainage devices, percutaneous procedures, or lower-vein revision work. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical purpose.

State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities incorrectly or are using the code to capture broader healthcare service delivery and benefits administration work that falls outside the specific procedural definition. Absent solicitations for actual vascular procedures or device-related services under this code, the code signals minimal procurement opportunity in state and local government aligned with its intended scope. Firms specializing in vascular interventions, medical devices, or procedure-related services should monitor whether tagging accuracy improves or consider that state and local demand for this specific service line may not materialize through standard procurement channels.
