UNSPSC 85531468 Replacement of right lesser saphenous vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for venous reconstruction. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with the nominal scope — the six posted solicitations instead address independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing placement. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all health services classifier rather than reflecting the discrete surgical procedure its name denotes, and none of the recent opportunities actually procure or contract for the saphenous vein replacement procedure itself. The issuing bodies are a mix of municipal human resources and retirement offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), reflecting typical state and local healthcare administration and benefits procurement.

The geographic spread covers Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Washington, and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and shipyard locations, the City of Long Beach's October 7, 2026 RFP for surgical and medical procedure Centers of Excellence carve-out management for approximately 3,800 plan members, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 qualification solicitation for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 health professional categories. This code shows heavy recent activity in healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing but no alignment with the UNSPSC category name, suggesting a taxonomic mislabeling rather than meaningful procurement concentration in the named procedure.
