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 06B23ZZ

UNSPSC 85533264 Excision of gastric vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are procuring under it. Recent opportunities tagged with this code do not involve surgical excision or gastric vein procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and Centers of Excellence networks for bundled surgical procedures. The code appears to be misapplied to health care administration and workforce health services rather than the specific procedural intervention its name describes.

The recent opportunities span state departments, county systems, and municipalities. The Washington State Department of Transportation procured occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought disability medical evaluation services for pension determinations; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefits; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department requested emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management administration; and Santa Clara County Health System built a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. Geographic activity appears across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Given the disconnect between the code's procedural title and the substantive health care administration work actually being solicited, this code does not offer a reliable signal for business development targeting specific medical procedure or surgical services.
