This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right greater saphenous vein with autologous tissue 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 06UP07Z

UNSPSC 85531442 Supplement right greater saphenous vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title refers to a specific surgical vein-grafting procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code bears no relationship to that clinical service. The available opportunities tagged with this code instead solicit independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve vascular surgery or tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source database or application of this code as a catch-all health services classification by issuing bodies that do not adhere to UNSPSC precision standards. State and local buyers using this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation agencies, and county commissioners' procurement divisions.

Activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, total maximum compensation $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-based evaluation with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence management (due October 7, 2026, anticipated contract execution April 1, 2027); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (historical annual pharmacy spending approximately $8.7 million, initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026). Because this code shows no genuine alignment with its stated clinical scope, the buy activity documented here should be treated as signal noise rather than actionable market intelligence for vascular surgery vendors.
