UNSPSC 85816317: Introduction of electrolytic and water balance substance into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of electrolytic and water balance substance into peripheral vein, percutaneous 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 3E0337Z

UNSPSC 85816317 (Introduction of electrolytic and water balance substance into peripheral vein, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code showing limited alignment between its clinical nomenclature and the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span virtual urgent care, medical services, PACE operations, rural value acceleration networks, cancer registry services, retinal screening devices, EMT staffing, employee health clinics, occupational health services, EMS revenue billing, orthotic equipment, medical director roles, psychological evaluations, wellness platforms, recovery audit contracting, comprehensive wellness programming, nursing home placement beds, respirator exams, tobacco cessation counseling, naloxone vending and harm reduction kits, orientation and mobility services, student support platforms, opioid use disorder treatment and prevention, youth crisis stabilization, day treatment programs, and temporary health professional staffing. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Colorado Department of Human Services, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Nevada Health Authority, Illinois Secretary of State, New Jersey Department of Health, Texas A&M University System), counties (DeKalb County Georgia, San Mateo County, Boulder County, Cobb County, Santa Clara County, Brevard County, Forsyth County, Seminole County, Jackson County, Sedgwick County Kansas, Ventura County, Washington County Oregon), cities (Phoenix, Ocala, Atlanta), special districts (Inland Empire Health Plan California, Events DC, Rockland County Mental Health), school districts (Parkway School District), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell Minnesota, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative Texas, H-GAC Texas). The code shows substantial geographic dispersion across California, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, Nevada, Kansas, New York, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, and Washington DC.

The recent procurement activity under this code does not substantively reflect the clinical procedure its nomenclature describes—introduction of electrolytic and water balance substances into peripheral veins via percutaneous approach—which would typically encompass IV fluid therapy, electrolyte replacement, or similar point-of-care venous interventions. Instead, the tagged opportunities represent broad healthcare service contracting: behavioral health treatment and recovery support (opioid use disorder services, mental health counseling, youth crisis response, multisystemic therapy), occupational and employee health (pre-employment physicals, drug screening, wellness programs), clinical subspecialty services (medical director oversight, psychological evaluation, cancer registry, radiology), EMS and paramedic operations, long-term care facility placement and operations, harm reduction infrastructure, and temporary clinical staffing. The code classification appears to be a downstream artifact of how healthcare procurement offices tag health service acquisitions rather than a precise match to procedural service scope. State and local buyers are actively soliciting under this code across occupational health (Forsyth County RFP August 2026, Cobb County RFP September 2026, Parkway School District IFB September 2026), behavioral health (Sedgwick County/Wichita opioid use disorder RFPs July–September 2026, Ventura County youth crisis stabilization and day treatment RFPs July–September 2026), specialized clinical services (San Mateo County cancer registry RFP October 2026, San Mateo County retinal screening devices RFP October 2026, Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP September 2026), and integrated care operations (Nevada Health Authority PACE RFP December 2026 deadline). Activity is heaviest in California, Colorado, Kansas, and Texas, with meaningful secondary activity in Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Illinois, and Nevada. Recent response deadlines cluster in September through December 2026, indicating active procurement momentum in the occupational health, behavioral health treatment, and specialized clinical services categories, but the code itself is a weak signal for procurement targeting—successful positioning requires matching specific clinical or administrative service capability to individual issuing-body needs rather than relying on UNSPSC taxonomy alignment.
