UNSPSC 85531863: Excision of left femoral vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left femoral 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 06BN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85531863 Excision of left femoral vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code tagged to clinical procedure terminology, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical intervention—they reflect health services procurement centered on medical evaluation, examination, and benefit administration. The code shows little alignment between its nominal scope (a specific surgical procedure) and the actual work being solicited. State and local governments are buying occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit administration, specialty health professional temporary staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency healthcare services for detained youth. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county commissioners, and county juvenile probation departments—a mix of human resources-anchored procurement, health system operations, and public safety personnel administration.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories through a multiple-award qualified vendor pool, due October 7, 2026. The City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence for orthopedic, cardiac, spine, and oncology procedures, due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027. The mismatch between code name and actual procurement scope signals that this code's use by state and local procurement systems may not reflect genuine surgical-intervention activity—bidders should treat the code as poorly matched to the work currently being solicited.
