This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 06B60ZZ

UNSPSC 85532661 Excision of inferior mesenteric vein, open approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vein excision. State and local procurement offices appear to use this code as a catch-all for medical services and benefits administration rather than as a marker for a discrete surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either miscategorization by issuing bodies or a deliberate broadening of the code's scope in practice to encompass the full range of medical procurement beyond facility-based surgery.

The jurisdictions soliciting under this code include county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and regional transit authorities (Washington State Ferries). Recent opportunities cluster in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with activity spanning July through October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows sufficient recent posting activity that business development professionals should expect ongoing solicitation despite the categorical misalignment with the code's nominal scope.
