UNSPSC 85531582: Drainage of left greater saphenous vein with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left greater saphenous vein with drainage device, 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 069Q00Z

UNSPSC 85531582 Drainage of left greater saphenous vein with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity among state and local government procurement opportunities. The six most-recent opportunities posted under or near this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out administration (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations concern venous drainage procedures, vascular surgical devices, or related clinical interventions. The code appears to represent a specific surgical procedure in the anatomical outcomes taxonomy rather than a procurement category state and local governments use to classify purchasing activity.

The mismatch reflects a broader issue: this Commodity code sits within a clinical procedure classification system designed for medical coding and outcomes tracking, not for procurement categorization of goods and services state and local agencies actually buy. State and local procurement offices typically acquire healthcare services through broader Family or Class codes covering medical staffing, occupational health programs, employee benefits administration, or specialty care networks—none of which map cleanly to a single venous procedure code. Firms evaluating this code should not assume it signals demand for vascular procedure supplies, surgical devices, or clinical services tied to greater saphenous vein drainage. The code does not reflect procurement practice in state and local contracting.
