UNSPSC 85531555: Extraction of left femoral vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left femoral 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 06DN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85531555 Extraction of left femoral vein, open approach is a Commodity code describing a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show no procurement activity aligned with this clinical intervention. The code's nominal scope—a vascular surgical extraction—does not match the healthcare services state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect demand for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These are administrative, staffing, and benefit-design services, not surgical extractions. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the opportunities or a systematic misalignment between the code's clinical specificity and how issuing bodies apply it in procurement practice.

Across the recent postings, issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and public health systems. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP at $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary clinical staffing pool RFP (due October 7, 2026). Until the coding alignment between opportunities and this Commodity code clarifies, the code appears inactive for meaningful pursuit.
