UNSPSC 85533228: Insertion of infusion device into gastric vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into gastric 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 06H233Z

UNSPSC 85533228 Insertion of infusion device into gastric vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgery benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation agencies, emergency and specialty medical services for youth detention facilities, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve insertion of infusion devices or gastric vein procedures. The code appears to have been misapplied across diverse healthcare contracting and procurement activities that operate at the health plan administration, occupational health, and temporary staffing level rather than at the procedural or clinical intervention level the code nominally describes. This systematic mismatch between the code's clinical procedure scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the state and local sourcing system or a significant divergence between UNSPSC coding discipline in these jurisdictions and the code's intended use.

The issuing bodies include large municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), major cities managing employee health benefits (City of Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and regional public safety pension boards. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a two-year initial term with optional extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Activity appears concentrated in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. Given the fundamental mismatch between code scope and actual procurement, this code should be treated as inactive for clinical procedure procurement purposes at the state and local level.
