UNSPSC 85531738: Supplement left greater saphenous vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left greater saphenous vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous 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 06UQ3JZ

UNSPSC 85531738 "Supplement left greater saphenous vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The code's medical-device nomenclature — identifying a specific surgical implant procedure — does not align with the recent solicitations posted under this code number. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System have all recently solicited services or staffing under this code designation, but their actual procurement scopes span independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve purchase or implantation of a specific vein-replacement device. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or use of a device-level UNSPSC code to tag administrative or staffing services that do not require product procurement at that specificity tier.

State and local procurement professionals should verify code assignment before pursuing activity tagged to 85531738. Actual device procurement may occur under different classification, or recent state and local opportunities may have been miscoded. If the intent is to pursue vascular surgery supplies or implantable medical devices broadly, alternative UNSPSC codes at higher tiers (Family or Class level) would provide more reliable signal of current market activity. No actionable opportunity exists under this Commodity code as presently tagged.
