UNSPSC 85533043: Restriction of splenic vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of splenic vein, percutaneous 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 06V13ZZ

UNSPSC 85533043 Restriction of splenic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title reflects a specific clinical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with that clinical scope. The code's activity instead spans occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement determinations, surgical benefit network administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — a fragmented mix of healthcare contracting that does not cohere around the splenic vein restriction procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional health systems. This suggests a coding mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity under the narrowly defined clinical procedure.

The geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no dominant state concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability pension determinations, with a five-year term and $750,000 maximum compensation (proposals due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (proposals due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity but the disconnect between the nominal procedure and the actual scope of work solicited suggests procurement offices may be applying this code incorrectly or the taxonomy entry requires review.
