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 06LB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85533170 Occlusion of left renal vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which concern percutaneous renal vein occlusion procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure descriptor from a medical coding system rather than a procurement taxonomy aligned with state and local government purchasing patterns. State and local buyers are tagging health benefits administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing under a code meant to describe an invasive vascular intervention, creating a fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured.

The recent opportunities show demand for medical administration and staffing services across multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits carve-out), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth), Collier County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, approximately $8.7 million annually), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Because the code does not meaningfully align with actual procurement scope, pursuit decisions should be driven by direct market research into relevant health benefits and occupational medical RFPs rather than reliance on this code's categorization.
