UNSPSC 85532565: Occlusion of inferior vena cava, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of inferior vena cava, 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 06L00ZZ

UNSPSC 85532565 Occlusion of inferior vena cava, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The opportunities posted under this code reflect general occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing placement, and surgical carve-out benefit program administration—none of which involve vena cava occlusion procedures or the operative interventions the code nominally addresses. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these solicitations or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and current buying practice under this code.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issuing from city retirement offices, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, and regional health systems. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferry system workers across 14 Washington locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes, suggesting low procurement volume or systematic miscoding at the state and local level.
