UNSPSC 85531546: Insertion of infusion device into left femoral vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into left femoral vein, 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 06HN03Z

UNSPSC 85531546, Insertion of infusion device into left femoral vein, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve insertion of infusion devices into femoral veins. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification that has been incorrectly applied to administrative and operational health services contracts; the mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a systemic misalignment between UNSPSC medical procedure codes and the state and local procurement systems that reference them.

The recent opportunities show activity across state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, via Washington State Ferries), county governments (Collier County, Florida; Harris County, Texas; Santa Clara County, California), cities (Phoenix, Arizona; Long Beach, California), and a regional health system. No pattern of repeat buyers emerges from the limited sample, and no geographic concentration is evident. The solicitations range from RFPs for medical surveillance and disability medical record services to specialty surgical carve-outs and temporary staffing pools, with response dates spanning September through October 2026. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity, this code merits exclusion from active pursuit; the opportunities appearing under it likely reflect upstream taxonomy problems rather than a genuine procurement avenue.
