UNSPSC 85532040: Supplement right greater saphenous vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right greater saphenous vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 06UP4KZ

UNSPSC 85532040 Supplement right greater saphenous vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving vein grafting, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative and operational health services procurement — independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary clinical staffing — rather than the implantable devices or procedural supplies the code nominally addresses. State and local government procurement offices, particularly in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, are using this code to tag health benefits administration, workforce medical services, and contracted clinical staffing, suggesting either a classification error in how opportunities are being coded or a systemic misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and how public sector health systems organize their procurement tags.

The issuing bodies span city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), county health departments and county commissioners (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), city human resources and benefits offices (City of Long Beach), regional transit authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Other activity includes Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, with historical annual spending near $8.7 million), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's procedural-device focus and what is actually being solicited, pursue activity only if your firm offers health benefits administration, occupational health services, clinical staffing, or pharmacy benefit management; procedural-device suppliers should not rely on this code's recent activity as a signal of relevant opportunity.
