UNSPSC 85531850: Extirpation of matter from right foot vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right foot 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 06CT3ZZ

UNSPSC 85531850, Extirpation of matter from right foot vein, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance services, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the code's nominal description of a vascular surgical procedure on the foot. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and municipal human resources divisions (City of Long Beach). The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors whose core business is the clinical service the code nominally describes; the opportunities represent administrative health services, staffing procurement, and benefits management—distinct from procedural medical care.

Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferries locations statewide with responses due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825), and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's solicitation for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years (RTMRFP26001). The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for a surgical procedure carve-out network with responses due October 7, 2026 (HR26753). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code's mismatch with actual procured services signals either a classification error in the issuing bodies' tagging or obsolescence of the code for current state and local health services purchasing patterns.
