UNSPSC 85531918: Destruction of left foot vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 065V3ZZ

UNSPSC 85531918 Destruction of left foot vein, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no meaningful state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted across state and local issuing bodies under this code are tangentially health-care adjacent but do not involve destruction of veins, percutaneous vascular procedures, or related surgical services. The Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent medical evaluation and disability record summarization for public safety pension determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical procedure carve-out benefits management for employee health plans; Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is sourcing occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is seeking specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth; Collier County is issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara Health System is building a staffing pool for temporary ancillary health professionals across clinical categories including audiology, radiology, and respiratory care.

This mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement content suggests either systematic tagging error within the state and local opportunity data or use of the code as a generic placeholder for health-care services more broadly. The actual work being solicited spans insurance administration, occupational health screening, emergency care coordination, pharmaceutical management, and clinical staffing — none of which overlaps with percutaneous vascular surgery. If your firm practices vein destruction or related percutaneous vascular procedures, this code does not reflect current state and local buying activity and is not worth monitoring for opportunity qualification or pursuit.
