UNSPSC 85532172: Excision of right femoral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right femoral vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 06BM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85532172 Excision of right femoral vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code are instead soliciting occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determination, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve excision of femoral veins or align with the procedural scope the code name suggests. State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these opportunities or applied the code as a broad catch-all for medical services outside its intended narrow procedural specification.

The recent opportunities do show issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and sectors: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary health staffing). Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas all appear in the recent record. However, because the code itself carries a specific procedural definition that these solicitations do not match, the apparent activity under UNSPSC 85532172 reflects either data quality issues in state and local procurement tagging or a fundamental mismatch between the code's taxonomy definition and its current use in practice. Business development professionals should verify actual code intent with a state or local procurement office before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
