UNSPSC 85533741: Extirpation of matter from portal vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from portal vein, 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 06C84ZZ

UNSPSC 85533741 Extirpation of matter from portal vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specialized surgical procedure—percutaneous endoscopic removal of matter from the portal vein—yet recent opportunities posted under this code across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington involve independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations address administrative healthcare management, occupational health compliance, and staffing procurement rather than the specific interventional procedure the code purports to classify. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing agencies or use of the code as a catch-all for broad healthcare services unrelated to its commodity definition.

The recent opportunities span a mix of issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (benefits administration), the City of Long Beach (employee healthcare), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (detention healthcare), Collier County Human Resources Division (pharmacy management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing)—with no concentration among repeat buyers. The largest identified opportunity is Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million, with a three-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals. The Washington State Ferries occupational surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 requires board-certified occupational medicine physicians and covers 14 ferry terminal locations statewide. Given the consistent mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope across multiple jurisdictions, firms evaluating this code should treat recent activity as unreliable for forward planning and verify code alignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
