UNSPSC 85531523: Occlusion of left greater saphenous vein with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left greater saphenous vein with extraluminal 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 06LQ0CZ

UNSPSC 85531523 Occlusion of left greater saphenous vein with extraluminal device, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code. The UNSPSC category name suggests a specific surgical procedure for venous occlusion, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code—including independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—do not match the nominal scope of vascular surgical intervention. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly across the opportunities recorded, creating a mismatch between the code's defined commodity and the work actually being solicited.

The opportunities present a mix of medical administration, benefits management, and occupational health services across diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. No single code-specific thread connects these solicitations to vascular surgical procedures. Given the misalignment between the code definition and the recorded opportunities, pursuit decisions should prioritize direct verification with issuing bodies rather than relying on this code classification for targeted business development.
