UNSPSC 85531458: Replacement of left foot vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left foot 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 06RV0JZ

UNSPSC 85531458 Replacement of left foot vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities solicited under this code are medical evaluation and staffing services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and specialty surgical carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these solicitations involve the procurement or implantation of synthetic vein replacements for patients. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a broad misclassification at the issuing-body level, and the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing medical device or implant supply contracts.

The six recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, county human resources departments, a state transportation agency, and a county juvenile probation department. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record review and physician examination coordination, due October 16, 2026 (RFP RTMRFP26001, $750,000 maximum over five years); the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026 (RFP HR26753); the Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026 (RFP RFP20260825); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026; Collier County is sourcing pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees, historical spend $8.7 million annually; and Santa Clara County Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical roles including audiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedic, and surgical services, due October 7, 2026. The code's current tagging pattern does not support procurement strategy.
