This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of inferior mesenteric 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 06964ZZ

UNSPSC 85533821 Drainage of inferior mesenteric vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and independent medical examination services—none of which involve inferior mesenteric vein drainage or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems or a significant divergence between UNSPSC taxonomy and operational practice in the issuing jurisdictions.

The recent opportunities show activity across state and local health systems and retirement/benefits administration rather than surgical procedure procurement. The Washington State Department of Transportation is sourcing occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach is procuring a surgical benefits carve-out program for its Anthem PPO plan serving approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple categories, due October 7, 2026. Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with additional RFI work from Harris County, Texas. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local opportunities in surgical-procedure provisioning or the specific endoscopic procedure named.
