UNSPSC 85533259 Excision of portal vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually purchasing under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve percutaneous vein procedures. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the purchasing activity assigned to it in state and local procurement systems. State agencies, counties, and municipal health systems are using this code as a catch-all for medical administration, health benefits management, and occupational medicine services rather than for specific surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County), municipalities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose districts (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code's recent activity reflects administrative health service procurement rather than procedural or clinical intervention purchasing.
