UNSPSC 85533149: Occlusion of hemorrhoidal plexus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of hemorrhoidal plexus, 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 06LY3ZC

UNSPSC 85533149 Occlusion of hemorrhoidal plexus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities identified in the source. The code describes a specific medical procedure, yet the opportunities posted under it span inmate healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve hemorrhoidal procedures or percutaneous vascular interventions. The source shows no recent state and local solicitations actually procuring hemorrhoidal occlusion services or related clinical procedures under this code.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the opportunities tagged to it suggests either a data classification error in the procurement system or that this code is not being actively used by state and local buyers for its intended purpose. The recent opportunities reflect broader healthcare and medical services contracting — inmate medical programs, pharmacy administration, virtual care platforms, behavioral health support, and EMS medical direction — but none of these activities correspond to the hemorrhoidal procedure the code nominally describes. If your firm pursues medical procedures or vascular interventions for correctional, public health, or municipal systems, this code presents a poor signal for actual procurement activity and should be deprioritized in favor of higher-level healthcare services or facility management codes where the tagging is more accurate.
