UNSPSC 85531569: Excision of left greater saphenous vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left greater 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 06BQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85531569 Excision of left greater saphenous vein, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at the most granular level of a clinical procedure taxonomy and does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are soliciting under this code tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which are vein excision procedures. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, city retirement offices, and county health systems, indicating a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC commodity label and the work being bought. This code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned with its nominal clinical procedure scope.

The geographic distribution across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County) reflects scattered state and local health administration and occupational medicine services, not the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applicants (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code assignment appears to be a data-entry error or system-mapping issue rather than an indicator of active procurement demand for the specific procedure.
