UNSPSC 85531516: Occlusion of left lesser saphenous vein with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left lesser saphenous vein with intraluminal device, 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 06LS0DZ

UNSPSC 85531516 Occlusion of left lesser saphenous vein with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The nominal scope describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code do not match that definition. The six most recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these procurements involve vascular surgical procedures, device implantation, or the specific clinical intervention the code nominates. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by these issuing bodies or that the code is being applied as a placeholder for a broader family of health services without precision.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the absence of solicitations that genuinely address the code's stated scope—vascular intervention with intraluminal devices—no representative opportunities exist for this specific procedure category. Firms should verify coding accuracy in notices before responding and may consider whether their service lines fall outside the apparent state and local demand signal this code currently reflects.
