UNSPSC 85533871: Destruction of right common iliac vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right common iliac 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 065C4ZZ

UNSPSC 85533871 Destruction of right common iliac vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational and occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either tagging error by issuing bodies or a systematic misalignment between this UNSPSC code and current state and local contracting practice. The issuing bodies pursuing health services under this code include county health systems, county probation departments, city pension boards, state ferries authorities, and county commissioners' offices across multiple states and jurisdictions.

The most recent opportunities offer no meaningful signal for pursuing business development under this code title itself. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, requiring board certification in occupational medicine. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Firms evaluating this code should treat the code-to-opportunity mismatch as a red flag and verify issuing-body tagging practice in future RFP and RFQ postings before committing resources to pursuit; the Commodity code name does not predict the actual health services work being bought.
