UNSPSC 85533538: Replacement of right renal vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right renal 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 06R94KZ

UNSPSC 85533538 Replacement of right renal vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve renal vein replacement or surgical procedures of that specificity. The code appears to be a clinical procedure taxonomy that is misaligned with state and local government purchasing categories. State and local procurement offices do not buy individual surgical procedures through commodity codes; they procure healthcare services contracts, staffing arrangements, and benefits administration at the program level. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC tagging or a fundamental category misclassification that renders this code unreliable for business development targeting.

The recent opportunities actually posted under this code involve issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and service lines: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for pension disability, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for PPO plans, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. None of these opportunities align with the code's nominal scope. Pursuing business under this code requires clarification with the procuring jurisdictions about the actual work being solicited, as the UNSPSC tagging does not reflect the substance of their requests.
