UNSPSC 85533245: Extirpation of matter from superior mesenteric vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 06C53ZZ

UNSPSC 85533245, Extirpation of matter from superior mesenteric vein, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve none of the clinical interventions the code describes. These solicitations concern administrative health services, benefits management, occupational health screening, and staffing placement rather than vascular surgical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state or local procurement systems or systematic misapplication of medical procedure codes to health services management work.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations 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 services (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's proposal solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these opportunities align with the code's stated scope, and pursuing activity under this code would benefit from clarification with procurement offices on the intended classification.
