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 06BV0ZZ

UNSPSC 85531565 Excision of left foot vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited by state and local governments under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure networks through Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, and health plan surgical carve-out benefits. These procurements address institutional healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, benefit plan management, and temporary clinical staffing — not the specific surgical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, county procurement departments, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding or that this code is being applied as a catch-all for healthcare-related state and local purchases that fall outside narrower service classifications.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an IFB for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); and Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis (due October 7, 2026). Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (deadline April 9, 2026, now passed). The code shows meaningful recent volume across state departments, large county health systems, and municipal retirement offices, but the scope divergence warrants verification of coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities listed under this designation.
