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 06B43ZZ

UNSPSC 85533263 Excision of hepatic vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's narrow clinical designation — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the scope of the recent opportunities tagged under it. The five most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve hepatic vein excision or percutaneous surgical procedures. State and local agencies do not appear to procure individual medical procedures under UNSPSC codes; instead, they solicit comprehensive healthcare services, pharmacy management, or medical staffing arrangements that may include such procedures as part of a broader scope. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the actual healthcare service solicitations suggests that the code has been misapplied to these opportunities, or that the code is not meaningfully used in state and local procurement for its intended clinical scope.

The issuing bodies include county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and health benefits divisions (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and California, with no clear geographic concentration. Given the code's apparent misalignment with the opportunities tagged under it, business development professionals should verify the accurate UNSPSC classification before pursuing this code in state and local procurement.
