This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 06LR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85531518 Occlusion of right lesser saphenous vein, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure code, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with the code's abstract medical procedure taxonomy. The sourced opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record reviews and independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which describe saphenous vein occlusion or relate to the specific surgical intervention the code nominally names. The code appears to be a miscategorization or data-quality issue in the state and local procurement tagging system rather than a signal of active purchasing activity aligned with the code's stated scope.

The issuing bodies include Arizona city pension boards (Phoenix), California cities and counties (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington State transportation authorities (WSF), Texas county juvenile justice (Harris County), and Florida county governments (Collier County), representing a geographically scattered set of state health systems, pension administrators, and county human resources or health departments. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no identifiable concentration. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). No procurement activity under this code meaningfully relates to the saphenous vein procedure the UNSPSC taxonomy nominally describes; buyers evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for its stated purpose and verify correct code assignment before pursuing opportunities.
