UNSPSC 85531921 Destruction of right lesser saphenous vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that presents a substantial mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, medical staffing, disability medical evaluation, surgical carve-out networks, and juvenile detention healthcare — none of which involve the specific vein-destruction procedure the code names. State and local procurement systems appear to have applied this code to a broad array of healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing work that falls outside the procedure's technical definition. Issuing bodies using this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County), county benefits administrators (Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal human resources divisions (City of Long Beach), and county detention authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department).

Activity under this code spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent solicitations concentrated in these four states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summaries and physician examination coordination for approximately 75 annual applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers across 14 regional locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out management for Anthem PPO members (due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal saphenous vein procedure scope and should be considered a low-signal or miscoded category for vascular or orthopedic surgical service providers.
