UNSPSC 85531721: Restriction of left femoral vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left femoral vein with extraluminal device, 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 06VN3CZ

UNSPSC 85531721, Restriction of left femoral vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity does not align with its nominal scope. The five recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and information requests for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve femoral vein restriction procedures or device-based vascular interventions. The code shows little relevant recent activity when measured against its stated medical procedure descriptor.

The issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county-level agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and a regional health system. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The most concrete recent examples are the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 at a contract value of $750,000 over five years. Given the consistent mismatch between the code's clinical procedure title and the administrative and occupational health services being purchased, this code appears misapplied in current state and local procurement systems.
