UNSPSC 85532161: Extirpation of matter from left greater saphenous vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left greater saphenous vein, 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 06CQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85532161 Extirpation of matter from left greater saphenous vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a disconnect between its nominal medical-procedure scope and the recent state and local opportunities actually tagged to it. The recent solicitations do not seek vascular surgical procedures but rather occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgery-center referral networks, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities align with the code's stated clinical intervention. The code appears to have been misapplied to general healthcare administration and occupational medicine contracts by state and local procurement offices, suggesting either category mislabeling in those procurement systems or a broader taxonomy mapping issue within the UNSPSC structure as deployed at the state and local level.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city (Long Beach), and a city pension board (Phoenix). Recent opportunities span Washington, California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) serving ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's request for surgery benefit carve-out and Centers of Excellence management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Because the code's actual buying activity does not match its clinical name, pursue only if your firm operates in occupational medicine, pension disability evaluation, PBM administration, or healthcare staffing rather than vascular surgery.
