UNSPSC 85533731: Insertion of intraluminal device into inferior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into inferior vena cava, 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 06H04DZ

UNSPSC 85533731 Insertion of intraluminal device into inferior vena cava, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve medical device insertion, implantation, or interventional procedures at all. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve the placement of intraluminal devices into the inferior vena cava or any interventional procedure matching the code's nominal description. The issuing bodies are diverse: a city retirement board (Phoenix), a municipal employee health program (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida.

The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its formal name and the work actually being purchased. No recent state and local solicitations reflect procurement of intraluminal vena cava devices or the clinical procedures to insert them. The most recent opportunities—Independent Medical Evaluation Services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP, due October 16, 2026), Surgery Benefit for Health PPO Plan (City of Long Beach, RFP, due October 7, 2026), and WSF-Medical Surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP, due October 9, 2026)—are health administrative services, employee benefit management, and occupational health support, not medical device procurement or interventional surgery. The code appears to be used inconsistently or incorrectly in state and local procurement systems. Vendors pursuing opportunities in occupational health services, medical evaluation administration, or health benefit program management should not rely on this code to identify relevant work.
