UNSPSC 85531476: Replacement of left femoral vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left femoral 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 06RN0JZ

UNSPSC 85531476 Replacement of left femoral vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which involve femoral vein replacement or vascular surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a taxonomy misapplication that does not reflect the work being bought.

The issuing bodies represent a mix of municipal government, county systems, state agencies, and health systems across multiple states. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The City of Long Beach and Collier County Commissioners also posted opportunities in healthcare administration and benefit management. These opportunities span Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, but the code itself appears to function as a catch-all classification for diverse health and medical services rather than as a marker for vascular surgical procedures. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code with individual issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this designation, as the nominal scope does not match current procurement activity.
