UNSPSC 85534216: Excision of esophageal vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 06B33ZZ

UNSPSC 85534216 Excision of esophageal vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the medical services, staffing, and benefit programs that state and local governments are actually soliciting under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which are esophageal vein procedures. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how opportunities have been tagged to the code or that the code's intended scope differs substantially from current procurement practice.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have posted opportunities under this code between late July and mid-September 2026, with response dates ranging from late September through mid-October 2026. Absent a clear link between the code's procedural scope and the work actually being purchased, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
