UNSPSC 85533655: Occlusion of superior mesenteric vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of superior mesenteric vein with extraluminal 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 06L54CZ

UNSPSC 85533655 (Occlusion of superior mesenteric vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular intervention; however, the six recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence carve-out networks for surgical procedures, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the discrete procedural intervention the code name specifies. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a misalignment between the code and the types of health services state and local governments are actually procuring under it.

The recent opportunities do reflect a broad pattern of state and local health services procurement across multiple issuing bodies: city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county public safety systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county benefits management (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record preparation and psychiatric examinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's procedural title and the types of health administration, staffing, and benefits management work state and local governments are actually buying, this code warrants verification against current taxonomy assignments before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
