UNSPSC 85531473: Replacement of right greater saphenous vein with synthetic 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 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 06RP0JZ

UNSPSC 85531473, Replacement of right greater saphenous vein with synthetic substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular grafting; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not procure surgical supplies, medical devices, or implants aligned with that scope. Instead, the posted solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which represent procurement of the surgical procedure or related implant materials that the code's name suggests. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or the taxonomy has drifted from current state and local purchasing patterns under this Commodity designation.

The recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies, including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System, across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Proposal deadlines clustered in September and October 2026 include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (Washington State Department of Transportation, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing RFSQ (due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of procurement aligned with the code's stated vascular-surgery scope, this code does not represent a meaningful pursue opportunity for vendors supplying surgical implants or procedure-related materials to state and local buyers.
