UNSPSC 85531500: Principal veins lower extremities, open approach-part B

This class includes one or more of 18 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the principal veins of the lower extremities with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 06.

UNSPSC 85531500 Principal veins lower extremities, open approach-part B is a Class code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not match the code's clinical scope. The sourced opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which relate to surgical intervention on lower-extremity veins. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the postings appear to reflect a tagging mismatch rather than authentic procurement under this clinical procedure code.

Because the code's recent opportunities do not reflect work aligned with its nominal scope, this code warrants a skip decision for vendors focused on the surgical services the code nominally describes.
