UNSPSC 85532529: Occlusion of right external iliac vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right external iliac vein, 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 06LF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85532529 Occlusion of right external iliac vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit management programs, pharmacy benefit administration, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with vascular surgical intervention. This classification error suggests the code has been misapplied in the state and local procurement system and carries little relevance to vendors pursuing actual vascular surgery contracting.

The opportunities that have been tagged with this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), cities (City of Long Beach, Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county public health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), and county procurement offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052) for a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool due October 7, 2026. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas based on recent postings. Vendors should treat this code as a system miscoding and focus on the specific health services categories actually being procured rather than on the vascular surgery code itself.
