UNSPSC 85531567: Excision of left lesser saphenous vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left lesser 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 06BS0ZZ

UNSPSC 85531567 Excision of left lesser saphenous vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the recent opportunities posted against it. State and local governments do not use this code to procure vein excision procedures themselves; instead, the recent solicitations tagged with this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit management for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement system or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies classify health services contracting.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California)—but none of these solicitations involve the procedure named in the code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026) with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (responses due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (responses due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent activity across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but the procurement substance does not align with vein excision. Firms evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service line rather than rely on the current tagging.
