UNSPSC 85531922: Destruction of left greater saphenous vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 065Q3ZZ

UNSPSC 85531922 Destruction of left greater saphenous vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities solicited under this classification address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency hospital services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve saphenous vein ablation or related vascular procedures. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, and counties managing employee health benefits. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either mis-tagging by procurement offices or an artifact of broader healthcare-service classification that does not reflect procedural or intervention-level purchasing in state and local markets.

Recent solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations under a five-year, $750,000 maximum-compensation contract. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties. The City of Long Beach posted HR26753 (due October 7, 2026) for a surgical benefit carve-out program managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. None of these opportunities explicitly purchase vascular interventions or saphenous vein procedures. Absent recent activity genuinely matching the code's nominal scope, pursuit under this classification warrants verification that the issuing body's code assignment reflects actual service scope.
