UNSPSC 85531117: Replacement of lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of lower vein with synthetic substitute, open 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 06RY0JZ

UNSPSC 85531117 Replacement of lower vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the state and local procurement activity posted under its designation. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure performed on a patient in a clinical setting, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing services, disability pension medical evaluations, and youth detention healthcare administration — none of which involve replacement of lower veins with synthetic materials. This mismatch signals either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement data or a misalignment between how issuing bodies are tagging health-related services and the UNSPSC taxonomy. The code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing contracts to provide the specific clinical procedure it names.

The misdirected opportunities do reveal active procurement across multiple issuing bodies and regions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations ($750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical benefit management and Centers of Excellence network services for employees (RFP due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a multi-category temporary health professional staffing pool (RFP due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida. However, none of these solicitations align with vascular surgery or vein replacement; firms evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for their procurement purposes and verify coding against the specific clinical services their offerings provide.
