UNSPSC 85531218: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from lower vein, 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 06PY3JZ

UNSPSC 85531218 (Removal of synthetic substitute from lower vein, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's narrow clinical-procedure definition—a specific percutaneous vascular intervention—does not match the scope of medical services state and local buyers are actually soliciting. Recent opportunities under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs, none of which constitute removal of synthetic vascular substitutes. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city pension boards (City of Phoenix), municipal governments (City of Long Beach), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and related public agencies—a wide issuing-body mix across human resources, benefits administration, and occupational health functions rather than vascular surgery procurement.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in any single state. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation (RFP20260825, RFQ, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals statewide; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit applications at $750,000 over five years; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (RFP 25-8414, RFP, due April 9, 2026, with historical spending of $8.7 million annually). The code as published does not reflect genuine procurement activity in vascular surgery or interventional procedures—the opportunities are mislabeled or misaligned with the UNSPSC taxonomy. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local purposes and cross-reference opportunities through healthcare staffing, benefits administration, or occupational health codes if pursuing these issuing bodies.
