UNSPSC 85531469: Replacement of left greater saphenous vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left greater saphenous vein with nonautologous 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 06RQ0KZ

UNSPSC 85531469 Replacement of left greater saphenous vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code are actually purchasing occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which align with vascular surgical implant procurement or the specific orthopedic procedure the code describes. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code designation include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), but the nature of the work being requested suggests a cataloging or tagging misalignment rather than genuine demand for saphenous vein replacement services or related vascular surgical supplies and services.

The geographic spread of recent postings spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no single state dominating activity. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for WSF personnel across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) across ancillary clinical categories. Since the recent opportunities do not reflect procurement of the vascular surgical products or services the code describes, firms pursuing state and local contracts under this code should verify the actual UNSPSC classification in each solicitation and clarify expected scope with the issuing body before preparing proposals.
