UNSPSC 85533955: Bypass portal vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass portal vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, 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 06184JY

UNSPSC 85533955 Bypass portal vein to lower vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent disability medical evaluations for public-safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health-professional staffing, specialty medical services for detained youth, and related healthcare administration—none of which involve the coded procedure itself. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all taxonomy bin for healthcare services broadly rather than as a marker for a discrete procedural service line.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations statewide (responses due October 9, 2026). The mismatch between the code's procedural description and the healthcare-administration work actually being bought suggests this Commodity code should be deprioritized unless the issuing body explicitly re-tags opportunities under a more clinically specific taxonomy.
