UNSPSC 85541841: Occlusion of cisterna chyli with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of cisterna chyli with extraluminal device, 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 07LL3CZ

UNSPSC 85541841 Occlusion of cisterna chyli with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specialized vascular/lymphatic medical device procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code procure occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency youth detention medical services — work that does not align with the device occlusion procedure the code purports to describe. State and local procurement systems occasionally tag opportunities with codes that do not match the work being bought; this code exemplifies that mismatch.

The issuing bodies soliciting under these misaligned opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). None of these opportunities involve the implantation or procurement of cisterna chyli occlusion devices. The geographic spread includes Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona, but the activity reflects general health and benefits administration rather than procedural device procurement. Given the code-to-work mismatch, vendors pursuing state and local opportunities under this UNSPSC number should verify the actual scope in each RFP or RFQ before investing in proposal development.
