UNSPSC 85533440: Restriction of gastric vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of gastric vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 06V24ZZ

UNSPSC 85533440 Restriction of gastric vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—endoscopic gastric vein restriction—yet the available recent solicitations tagged under this code do not procure that service or related clinical procedures. Instead, the opportunities involve independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. These are administrative, staffing, and benefits-management services rather than the performance or procurement of a defined surgical intervention. State and local health systems, counties, and municipalities use procurement vehicles under this code's designation to manage health plan administration and clinical workforce logistics, not to acquire surgical procedure capacity.

Recent activity appears concentrated among large urban and county health systems in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, with no clear pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System represent the issuing bodies across the most recent opportunities. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual scope of work procured suggests either systematic miscoding at the point of entry or that this code serves as a catch-all designation for health services administration rather than surgical capability acquisition.
