UNSPSC 85531515: Occlusion of left lesser saphenous vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left lesser 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 06LS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85531515 Occlusion of left lesser saphenous vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for vein occlusion, yet the actual solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs for health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the specific saphenous vein procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catchall for health services administration rather than clinical procedures.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with recent activity spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with five optional one-year extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
