UNSPSC 85531434, "Supplement right lesser saphenous vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach," is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of this medical procedure or surgical supply. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. No opportunities in the sample actually procure saphenous vein supplementation or related surgical supplies or devices. This code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the work actually being bought by state and local jurisdictions under this tag.

The issuing bodies in the sample represent a geographic and organizational mix including a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and specialized authorities (Washington State Ferries). The activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or to capture health administration and staffing services rather than the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit saphenous vein supplements, surgical implants, nonautologous tissue substitutes, or related orthobiologic products or devices.
