UNSPSC 85533197: Occlusion of inferior vena cava, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of inferior vena cava, 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 06L03ZZ

UNSPSC 85533197 Occlusion of inferior vena cava, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure — percutaneous placement of an inferior vena cava filter — yet the state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not solicit for that procedure or related devices. Instead, recent solicitations tagged under this code request independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — services unrelated to vena cava occlusion. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation systems, county health systems, and local health authorities across multiple states, but none of these opportunities align with the procedural scope the code nominally identifies.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These opportunities span Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, but their substance does not correspond to percutaneous vena cava intervention. The mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error by the posting jurisdictions or a data-coding inconsistency in the underlying procurement database. State and local buyers pursuing vena-cava-specific device or procedure contracts do not appear to be using this code actively.
