UNSPSC 85816225: Introduction of other antineoplastic into peripheral vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of other antineoplastic into peripheral vein, open approach. This administrative 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 3E03005

UNSPSC 85816225 Introduction of other antineoplastic into peripheral vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a clinical procedure for intravenous chemotherapy administration. State and local governments do not procure this code as a discrete service line. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a systematic mismatch between the taxonomy label and actual state and local healthcare procurement activity — they span virtual urgent care, PACE operations, cancer screening, occupational health, EMS staffing, employee wellness platforms, and opioid use disorder treatment and recovery services, none of which align with antineoplastic drug delivery.

The issuing bodies are diverse: health plans (Inland Empire Health Plan in California), state health authorities (Nevada Health Authority), county health systems (Santa Clara, DeKalb), county governments (San Mateo, Cobb, Ventura, Rockland, Forsyth, Seminole), city health departments (Phoenix, Ocala, Atlanta), and special-purpose districts (Colorado Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Geographic concentration appears across California, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Kansas, with scattered activity in other states. Recent representative solicitations include Inland Empire Health Plan's RFI for Virtual Urgent Care Services (responses due October 31, 2026), the Nevada Health Authority's RFP for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (proposals due December 10, 2026), and San Mateo County's RFP for Cancer Registry Services (proposals due November 6, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to what is actually being procured, vendors should treat this code as a taxonomy error rather than a viable target for business development activity.
