UNSPSC 85533185: Occlusion of superior mesenteric vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of superior mesenteric 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 06L53ZZ

UNSPSC 85533185 "Occlusion of superior mesenteric vein, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific surgical or medical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities associated with this code bear no connection to that nominal scope. The opportunities reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which align with a percutaneous vascular intervention. The code shows little relevant recent activity when matched to its stated clinical definition.

The opportunities posted under this code span multiple states and issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, RFP posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summary and independent medical examinations for public safety pension applicants, RFP posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit management for city employees under an Anthem PPO plan, RFP posted August 26, 2026, due October 7, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 county employees and 4,800 family members, RFP posted August 20, 2026, with a historical annual pharmacy budget of approximately $8.7 million), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, RFP posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI posted August 24, 2026, due September 25, 2026). The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's clinical descriptor and the actual procurement activity suggests either a tagging error in the underlying state and local database or a category definition that does not reflect current buying behavior.
