UNSPSC 85531521 Occlusion of left greater saphenous vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local solicitations posted under it. The recent opportunities instead reflect a broader medical services procurement landscape: independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for public-sector employees, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. State and local issuing bodies using this code include cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems. The mix spans pension boards, employee health benefits administration, occupational safety compliance, youth detention healthcare, and general municipal health procurement.

Recent opportunities posted under the code show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) with maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs for its Anthem Blue Cross PPO (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, with contract execution and go-live targeted for April 1, 2027); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with Apparent Successful Bidder announcement October 20, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows material procurement activity but exhibits misalignment between its procedural name and actual buying behavior, suggesting either miscoding in state and local systems or use as a catchall for medical service delivery that does not fit narrower procedure-specific codes.
