UNSPSC 85531505: Release left greater saphenous vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left greater saphenous vein, 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 06NQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85531505 Release left greater saphenous vein, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for vein ligation and removal. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not involve vascular surgery or any clinical procedure matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the opportunities solicited under this code encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services for county correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees and retirees, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical taxonomy designation and the actual purchasing activity being tagged to it at the state and local level.

The geographic footprint of recent activity spans Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department), with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Representative opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's May 15, 2026 RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (covering 576 offenders, with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71 and a two-year initial term with three one-year renewal options); Collier County Board of County Commissioners' April 9, 2026 RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; and Monroe County's April 16, 2026 RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members with an effective date of October 1, 2026. The code generates activity from county purchasing divisions and specialized agencies but shows no meaningful alignment with the procedural medical taxonomy it nominally represents, making it unsuitable for market analysis or business development targeting surgical services or vascular care.
