UNSPSC 85532709: Drainage of left common iliac vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left common iliac 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 069D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85532709 Drainage of left common iliac vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities show no alignment with this clinical taxonomy. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to health service and administrative procurements that fall outside its operative scope. The recent opportunities solicited include independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve drainage of a specific vein or the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city health benefit administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara).

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with opportunities reflecting municipal and county-level procurement across the Pacific Coast and Southwest regions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services (RFP, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFP, due October 7, 2026). The code's misapplication to these opportunities signals either upstream taxonomy miscoding in state and local procurement systems or vendor misclassification during search and posting; firms evaluating this code should verify opportunity scope independently rather than relying on the UNSPSC tag.
