UNSPSC 85533495: Supplement inferior vena cava with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement inferior vena cava with synthetic 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 06U04JZ

UNSPSC 85533495 Supplement inferior vena cava with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under recent solicitations tagged to it. The recent opportunities attributed to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vena cava procedures or interventional medical devices. The code appears to be a medical procedure classification that has been misapplied or cross-referenced in procurement taxonomy tagging by issuing bodies, and the opportunities it surfaces are administrative healthcare services and staff augmentation rather than the implantable medical device or surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include county and city government health and benefits functions (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach requesting surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit proposals (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). A business development professional evaluating this code should verify that the actual procurement opportunity aligns with a different UNSPSC category, as the code's nominal scope bears no relationship to the healthcare administrative and staffing services that appear in recent state and local solicitations.
