UNSPSC 85531321: Removal of synthetic substitute from lower vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from lower vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 06PY4JZ

UNSPSC 85531321 Removal of synthetic substitute from lower vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that the source shows tagged to state and local procurement activity with minimal relevant connection to its nominal medical procedure scope. The code's technical name describes a specific vascular intervention, yet recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a much broader range of health services procurement — independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve vascular surgery or the removal of synthetic substitutes. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health administration, and regional health systems — a cross-section of public-sector health and benefits administration rather than hospital surgical or vascular services procurement.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services posted September 16, 2026 with an October 16, 2026 response deadline (managing approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits posted August 26, 2026 due October 7, 2026 (managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures across approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees); and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance posted August 25, 2026 due October 9, 2026 (baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations). The code's recent activity suggests a taxonomy mismatch — state and local procurement offices are tagging health administration and occupational health services under a specific surgical procedure code, rather than under general health services procurement codes.
