UNSPSC 85531441: Supplement right greater saphenous vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right greater saphenous 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 06UP0JZ

UNSPSC 85531441 Supplement right greater saphenous vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code shows no direct alignment with the code's medical device or surgical implant scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect a broad portfolio of health services and benefit administration work: independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county probation departments, and county commissioners' procurement divisions — a cross-section of state and local health administration, employee benefits, and public safety functions rather than orthopedic surgery or vascular implant procurement.

Geographic activity is dispersed: recent solicitations posted from Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The largest and most concrete recent opportunity is the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; evaluation emphasizes organizational capacity and method of approach. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) targets licensed occupational medicine physicians across 14 Washington ferry locations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summary and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual pension disability applications, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The code's recent posting pattern suggests categorical miscoding — these opportunities fall under employee benefits administration, occupational health, or health services staffing rather than surgical implant procurement, signaling limited relevance to vendors in orthopedic medical device or vascular surgery supply chains.
