UNSPSC 85531808: Occlusion of left lesser saphenous vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left lesser saphenous vein with intraluminal device, 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 06LS3DZ

UNSPSC 85531808 Occlusion of left lesser saphenous vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a severe mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a highly specific surgical procedure for vein occlusion; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, surgery benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the procedural intervention the code name specifies. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach, Seattle via Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County). This code appears to be used as a catch-all classification for health services procurement rather than as a taxonomy vehicle for the specific procedure it names.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferries system locations, scored on pricing (40 percent) and non-cost capability factors (60 percent); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated procedural scope and appears misapplied to general health services procurement.
