UNSPSC 85532624: Insertion of infusion device into superior mesenteric vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into superior 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 06H503Z

UNSPSC 85532624 Insertion of infusion device into superior mesenteric vein, open approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure code — and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve insertion of infusion devices into the superior mesenteric vein or related vascular procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly across several distinct medical service categories, making it difficult to identify a coherent procurement practice under the nominal code definition.

Recent activity includes the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance contract for ferry workers (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence networks (proposals due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (responses due September 25, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (proposals due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (proposals due April 9, 2026). Given the code's disconnect from its stated definition, firms should treat UNSPSC 85532624 as unreliable for identifying true vascular surgical procedure procurement and instead evaluate opportunities by their actual service description rather than code alignment.
