This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of inferior mesenteric 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 06L60ZZ

UNSPSC 85532550 Occlusion of inferior mesenteric vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving vascular occlusion, yet the source contains no solicitations matching this clinical scope. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific vascular procedure the code names. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code incorrectly or as a catch-all category for diverse health services contracting; the tagged opportunities reflect administrative and clinical staffing functions rather than surgical interventions.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity suggests either a data classification error or a fundamental misalignment in how this jurisdiction tags health services procurement. Business development professionals should treat this code with caution: the nominal commodity does not reflect what state and local governments are actually soliciting under it, and pursuing opportunities based on the code name alone would lead toward irrelevant capabilities. If pursuing the health services opportunities present in the source — such as the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) or the County of Santa Clara's multiple-award vendor-pool RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026) — verify the correct UNSPSC codes directly with the issuing bodies before investing proposal resources.
