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 06NN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85532107 Release left femoral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach — a Commodity code — shows a profound mismatch between its medical-procedure taxonomy designation and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical procedures, medical devices, or physician-performed interventions aligned with the code's clinical name. Instead, they reflect health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, temporary clinical staffing placement, pharmacy benefit management, and independent disability medical evaluations. State and local buyers are not soliciting surgical services or procedure codes; they are procuring health plan administration, medical examination coordination, staffing services, and benefits management—administrative health services rather than clinical procedures themselves. The issuing bodies span county governments, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, health systems, and juvenile probation agencies, each seeking to manage or administer healthcare services for employees, beneficiaries, or detained populations.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services, including disability record summarization and scheduling of physician examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications, at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services covering baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry terminals. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and other ancillary clinical specialties. This code displays no coherent procurement signal and appears to be a taxonomy classification error rather than a reliable indicator of buying activity worth pursuing.
