This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of hemorrhoidal plexus with intraluminal device, open 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 06LY0DC

UNSPSC 85532518 Occlusion of hemorrhoidal plexus with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract taxonomy label bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span medical staffing, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, pension-board disability evaluations, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve hemorrhoidal procedures or surgical devices. This mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-classification error that has decoupled the code from its intended scope. State and local governments are not procuring hemorrhoid-treatment devices under this code in any volume the source reflects.

The opportunities posted under UNSPSC 85532518 instead reveal activity across multiple service categories: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (California) solicited surgical-procedure carve-out benefit management for its health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County (Florida) procured pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members ($8.7 million historical spend, RFP 25-8414); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a multi-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement signal and should not be pursued under its stated definition.
