UNSPSC 85533176: Occlusion of portal vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of portal 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 06L83ZZ

UNSPSC 85533176, Occlusion of portal vein, percutaneous approach (Commodity), does not match the state and local procurement opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally describes a medical procedure — percutaneous portal vein occlusion — yet the recent solicitations tagged to it span employee benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these opportunities involve procurement of portal vein occlusion procedures or related interventional radiology services. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and actual state and local buying activity under this code.

The recent opportunities do show state and local health benefit and occupational health procurement spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determination ($750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical carve-out program for employee benefit networks (RFP due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (responses due September 25, 2026); Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 2,400 enrolled employees (RFP due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties (RFP due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work). The code shows no actual procurement volume for portal vein occlusion or related procedural interventions and does not warrant pursuit under its stated scope.
