This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left greater 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 069Q3ZZ

UNSPSC 85531873 Drainage of left greater saphenous vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under this classification in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which involve saphenous vein drainage or are aligned with interventional vascular procedures. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Harris County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional public health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System). The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the breadth of health administration and staffing work being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding or a data integrity issue in how this code is being applied within these jurisdictions.

The recent opportunities are concentrated geographically in California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State, with response dates spanning July through October 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical benefits carve-out program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows activity but no cohesion — vendors pursuing opportunities under this classification should verify the actual scope and service category before responding, as the code name does not predict the work being bought.
