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 06DM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85531556 Extraction of right femoral vein, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure but shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefits, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vein extraction or surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of health administrative and staffing services tagged to it suggests this code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly by issuing bodies, rendering it a poor indicator of true procurement intent under the nominal scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a county health system (County of Santa Clara), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a city health benefits administrator (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and responses due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 locations with apparent successful bidder announcement October 20, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with responses due October 7, 2026. Given the code's poor semantic fit with the actual work being procured, a business development professional should verify the intended UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
