This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right lesser 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 06RR0JZ

UNSPSC 85531467 Replacement of right lesser saphenous vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it bear no relationship to vascular surgery or implantable medical devices. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual work being solicited under it in state and local procurement right now.

The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out management for municipal employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, specialty medical services for detained youth, and emergency medical care coordination. None of these activities involve vascular procedures or synthetic vein replacement. The issuing bodies include two city pension boards (Phoenix), two cities (Long Beach, Santa Clara), one county (Collier), one state agency (Washington Department of Transportation), and one county juvenile probation department (Harris County). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. This code appears to have been misapplied in state and local procurement systems, and vendors should verify the actual scope of work in solicitation details rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification.
