This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of 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 06DP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85531554 Extraction of right greater saphenous vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — extraction of the greater saphenous vein via open approach — but the six recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect surgical procurement in that sense. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluation for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve procurement of the surgical procedure named in the code, nor do they share a common service or product line that would justify their aggregation under a vein-extraction code.

The issuing bodies represent a diverse mix of state departments, county governments, cities, and health systems — Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in any single state or region. The misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging system or that this code is not in active use for state and local procurement purposes in the way the taxonomy intends. No evidence in the source material supports that this code reflects a genuine procurement category for state and local buyers.
