UNSPSC 85531002: Revision of synthetic substitute in lower vein, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in lower vein, external 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 06WYXJZ

UNSPSC 85531002 Revision of synthetic substitute in lower vein, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure for vascular intervention—does not match the work actually being solicited under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead span disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services. These are fundamentally different service lines (benefits administration, occupational medicine, temporary staffing, and institutional healthcare delivery) that fall outside the code's stated clinical domain.

The issuing bodies reflect the geographic and jurisdictional diversity of state and local health procurement: 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 in Texas, Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year $750,000 contract maximum; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code's mismatch with actual procurement suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this Commodity code sees little genuine state and local activity aligned with its clinical definition.
