UNSPSC 85531568 Excision of right lesser saphenous vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code do not solicit surgical procedures themselves. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring broader healthcare management and staffing services — medical evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, surgical care networks through Centers of Excellence, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with procurement of a defined surgical intervention.

The recent opportunities span city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program managing bundled payments and Centers of Excellence for employees and retirees (RFP HR26753, response due October 7, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries solicited occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026). The code as tagged does not meaningfully describe the work being purchased in these solicitations, indicating either a data-entry misclassification or a significant divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement practice in this category.
