UNSPSC 85531472: Replacement of right 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 right 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 06RP0KZ

UNSPSC 85531472 Replacement of right greater saphenous vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities show no alignment with this clinical service line. Instead, the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or tissue substitutes. The scope mismatch is fundamental: the code's clinical descriptor does not correspond to what state and local governments are actually procuring under this tag. Issuing bodies in the recent set include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement system (Phoenix), and a municipal health system (Long Beach), reflecting broad jurisdictional diversity without a dominant repeat buyer.

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 statewide locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services for 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, with an April 9, 2026 deadline now past). The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms focused on vascular surgery, tissue substitutes, or hospital procedure services; the mismatch between code nomenclature and actual procurement activity suggests this UNSPSC tag may be misapplied or outdated for the opportunities it currently covers.
