UNSPSC 85531916: Dilation of right femoral vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right 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 067M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85531916 Dilation of right femoral vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure—percutaneous dilation of the right femoral vein—yet the state and local opportunities tagged under it involve entirely different services: independent medical evaluation for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involves femoral vein dilation or the percutaneous interventional procedures the code name implies. The mismatch suggests either a systematic cataloging error in how opportunities are being tagged to UNSPSC codes or that the code itself is misaligned with actual state and local procurement practice in this domain.

The opportunities that do appear span multiple issuing bodies—pension boards in Arizona, city health and benefits offices in California and Florida, a state transportation department in Washington, a county juvenile probation system in Texas, and county health systems in California and Florida—covering occupational health, benefits administration, and emergency care delivery rather than surgical interventions. Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code shows little actionable guidance for vendors pursuing contracts in vascular surgery, interventional radiology, or related clinical procedure services at the state and local level.
