UNSPSC 85531537: Insertion of intraluminal device into left lesser saphenous vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into 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 06HS0DZ

UNSPSC 85531537 Insertion of intraluminal device into left lesser saphenous vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical specificity and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single surgical procedure on a named anatomical structure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass a much broader range of health services contracting — occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefits management, specialty pharmacy services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve intraluminal device insertion. State and local buyers are using this code to tag health-services-related procurements that fall outside the narrow procedural scope the code itself describes. The issuing bodies are diverse: municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city human resources and benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). These are mature, repeating buyers in government benefits administration and clinical operations.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefits carve-out management through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's taxonomy placement does not meaningfully guide opportunity identification; state and local procurement offices appear to be applying this surgical-procedure code as a catchall for health services contracting, creating a structural mismatch that makes code-level targeting unreliable for businesses pursuing this work.
