UNSPSC 85533875 Destruction of colic vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural name and the recent state and local contract activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities logged under this code do not involve colic vein destruction or percutaneous endoscopic procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to be a medical procedure taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems are applying to healthcare contracting and staffing services more broadly, creating a poor fit between the code's clinical specificity and the actual scope of work being solicited.

The issuing bodies include state health and transportation agencies, county governments, county health systems, and city retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with responses due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program with responses due October 7, 2026; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with responses due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth with responses due September 25, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
