UNSPSC 85532165: Excision of left foot vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left foot 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 06BV4ZZ

UNSPSC 85532165 Excision of left foot vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a severe mismatch between its nominal clinical-procedure scope and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve vein excision or any surgical procedure matching the code name. Instead, issuing bodies are procuring occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — all generic medical administration and staffing services disconnected from the specialized vascular surgery the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no visible concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. The issuing bodies are municipal procurement offices, county human resources and health departments, state transportation agencies, and health system procurement divisions. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (contract value $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the complete disconnect between the code's clinical procedure name and the administrative and staffing services being procured, this code appears to be either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or is used only episodically and without relation to its UNSPSC definition.
