UNSPSC 85533231: Insertion of intraluminal device into inferior vena cava, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into 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 06H03DZ

UNSPSC 85533231 Insertion of intraluminal device into inferior vena cava, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The code's nominal description references a specific medical procedure — endovascular placement of a filter or stent into the inferior vena cava — yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of that service or the devices used in it. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations for pension boards, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency services for detained youth. None of these categories involves procurement of intraluminal vena cava devices or the clinical procedure itself.

The mismatch between the code's technical definition and actual solicitation scope suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or a limitation in how state and local procurement offices apply this UNSPSC taxonomy to health services contracting. Opportunities identified include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, and Washington. Bidders pursuing opportunities under this code should verify with the issuing body that the code reflects the actual work scope before committing proposal resources, as the taxonomic signal here does not cleanly align with the stated commodity definition.
