UNSPSC 85533455: Supplement left external iliac vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left external iliac vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 06UG4KZ

UNSPSC 85533455 Supplement left external iliac vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical vascular procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful connection to the code's nominal scope. Instead of procurement of surgical supplies or implantable devices related to vascular supplementation, the opportunities reflect administrative and clinical staffing services: independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for youth in detention custody. The mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity signals either sustained miscoding in state procurement systems or a fundamental cataloging error at the UNSPSC taxonomy level. The issuing bodies are diverse municipal and county agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Collier County, County of Santa Clara, Harris County, Washington State Department of Transportation) and their health system divisions, reflecting the administrative and HR-driven nature of the work actually being solicited.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State based on recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability pension determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with vascular surgical implants, and pursuing vendors should verify that this taxonomy placement reflects actual state and local procurement demand or whether the misalignment is systemic within the jurisdiction's classification system.
