UNSPSC 85533645: Occlusion of portal vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of portal vein with intraluminal device, 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 06L84DZ

UNSPSC 85533645, Occlusion of portal vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The three most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical center-of-excellence carve-out services (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), and pharmacy benefit management (Collier County)—are plainly unrelated to the code's nominal scope of a specific interventional radiology procedure. None of the opportunities involve portal vein occlusion, intraluminal devices, or percutaneous endoscopic approaches. The code appears to have been misapplied across a broad range of health benefits administration, occupational health, and third-party medical management services that fall outside the narrow procedural scope the code name describes.

State and local procurement offices do not appear to be soliciting for this specific interventional procedure. The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the diverse administrative and occupational health services tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding or that the commodity is not a typical state or local procurement item. Business development professionals should verify the correct code classification before pursuing opportunities in this taxonomy line, or focus attention elsewhere if the organization's service line is limited to the specific procedure named in the code.
