UNSPSC 85531543: Insertion of intraluminal device into right greater saphenous vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into right greater 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 06HP0DZ

UNSPSC 85531543 Insertion of intraluminal device into right greater saphenous vein, open approach (Commodity) shows a material mismatch between its clinical-procedural code name and the state and local solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities do not involve insertion of intraluminal devices into saphenous veins or any comparable vascular interventional procedures. Instead, the code captures a mix of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out services — none of which align with the code's nominal scope. Harris County's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP both center on comprehensive medical examination and record management, while the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP focuses on disability determinations for pension systems. The City of Long Beach's surgical benefit proposal and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP address benefit administration and cost management rather than device insertion or procedural interventions. The County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle spans ancillary clinical categories with no procedural focus.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments, counties, cities, and independent health systems across multiple regions. Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Collier County, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County) each posted one or more opportunities. Geographic spread is scattered across the West and South, with no clear concentration. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical-device scope; the opportunities tagged under it appear to reflect either systematic tagging errors or a significant divergence between UNSPSC classification practice and procurement reality at these jurisdictions. Business development teams should verify the actual work scope with issuers before pursuing opportunities under this code, as the nominal device-insertion classification does not predict the medical services, staffing, and benefit-management work currently being solicited.
