UNSPSC 85533096: Supplement inferior vena cava with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement inferior vena cava with autologous tissue substitute, 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 06U037Z

UNSPSC 85533096 Supplement inferior vena cava with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this tag. Recent opportunities solicited under this code bear no relation to the clinical procedure the code nominally describes. Instead, state and local bodies are using this code—seemingly in error—to tag requests for occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these procurement activities involve vena cava procedures or tissue substitution. The mismatch suggests either a systematic cataloging error in the source systems or an inappropriate code assignment during solicitation setup.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county commissioners' offices, and juvenile probation departments. No single opportunity in the recent block involves the clinical procedure named in the code, making this code unsuitable for business development targeting in its stated scope.
