UNSPSC 85531767: Release left lesser saphenous vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left lesser saphenous vein, 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 06NS3ZZ

UNSPSC 85531767 Release left lesser saphenous vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for venous intervention, but the state and local opportunities posted under this classification include inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve peripheral vascular surgery or the procedural intervention the code purports to name. This mismatch suggests either misclassification at the source or drift in how the code is being applied in state and local systems.

The opportunities shown span diverse issuing bodies — county correctional facilities (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and health benefits programs (Collier County, Florida and Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health divisions (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California) — but they do not reflect actual procurement under the saphenous vein code's stated scope. The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with activity posted between February and April 2026, yet the work being bought (healthcare administration, pharmacy services, virtual care platforms, behavioral health support, and EMS medical direction) bears no substantive relationship to the procedural classification. Unless the code is intentionally used as a catch-all administrative classification for healthcare service contracting more broadly, this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated definition.
