UNSPSC 85534215: Extirpation of matter from esophageal vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from esophageal vein, percutaneous 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 06C33ZZ

UNSPSC 85534215 Extirpation of matter from esophageal vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears a medical-procedure nomenclature but does not match the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing pools, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve esophageal procedures or percutaneous vascular interventions. The mismatch between the code's nominal title and actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic tagging error across multiple issuing bodies or that this code has been repurposed in practice to classify health services contracting broadly rather than a specific clinical procedure.

Recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: Arizona's City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California. The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) requires services across 14 ferry terminals; the Phoenix pension boards' independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years) focuses on disability determinations for approximately 75 annual applications; and the Santa Clara Health System's temporary staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) establishes a non-exclusive qualified list across 13 ancillary health professional categories with no guaranteed volume. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the code's procedural nomenclature and the absence of recent opportunities for esophageal vascular interventions, pursuit under this code should be evaluated alongside actual bid postings to determine whether the code correctly describes the work or whether misclassification is masking relevant procurement signals.
