UNSPSC 85533362: Dilation of inferior vena cava, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of 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 06703ZZ

UNSPSC 85533362 Dilation of inferior vena cava, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve inferior vena cava dilation procedures or related interventional vascular services. State and local procurement does not appear to use this code to acquire the specific medical procedure it nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's name and the recent opportunities suggests either inconsistent coding practices within issuing bodies' procurement systems or that this code is not actively used for state and local medical service procurement. No representative solicitations for vascular interventional procedures, medical devices specific to IVC dilation, or related clinical services appear in the recent postings. A business development professional evaluating this code should verify whether state and local bodies are actually sourcing vena cava dilation services separately or through broader medical services codes, and whether opportunities under this code warrant pursuit.
