UNSPSC 85531857 Excision of left foot vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The nominal code describes a specific surgical procedure (left foot vein excision via percutaneous technique), but the recent solicitations reflect administrative and occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which represent surgical excision work. State and local procurement systems have tagged these opportunities with this code despite a clear mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the services actually being procured.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits administration), Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Response dates on the most recent postings cluster in early to mid-October 2026, with the Washington State Ferries solicitation due October 9, 2026, the City of Long Beach RFP due October 7, 2026, and the City of Phoenix RFP due October 16, 2026. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The code shows no recent activity reflecting the specific surgical procedure its nominal classification describes, indicating either a tagging error in the procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's definition and its operational use in state and local procurement.
