This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right external iliac vein, open approach.

UNSPSC 85532608 Insertion of infusion device into right external iliac vein, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it do not involve this clinical intervention. Instead, the opportunities reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational health surveillance, and medical staffing services that state and local jurisdictions are procuring. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is not a reliable vehicle for tracking relevant state and local procurement activity in the medical devices or surgical services space.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span Phoenix's municipal retirement offices, Long Beach's employee benefits administration, Washington State's ferry system occupational health programs, Harris County's juvenile detention healthcare, Collier County's pharmacy benefits management, and Santa Clara County's temporary clinical staffing. These issuing bodies range from city retirement boards to county health systems and state transportation agencies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations ($750,000 over five years, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing in 13 ancillary health professional categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant concentration. The code's misalignment with the actual procurements posted suggests that state and local procurement offices may be applying this code inconsistently or that the code does not serve as an effective classification for the healthcare and medical administration services these jurisdictions are actually buying.
