UNSPSC 85532168: Excision of right lesser saphenous vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right lesser 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 06BR4ZZ

UNSPSC 85532168 Excision of right lesser saphenous vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with its clinical taxonomy label. The code shows no recent solicitations for actual vein excision services or surgical procedure procurement. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which constitute the specific procedure named in the code. State and local agencies posting under this code include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments, but the divergence between the code's stated scope and what is actually being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding or use of this code as a catch-all for medical service categories outside the standard procurement taxonomy.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation procuring occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach requesting surgical procedure carve-out and center-of-excellence network management for its employee health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Activity is distributed across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida with no geographic concentration. Given the systematic mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the administrative and staffing services actually being procured, this code warrants review for reclassification or reassignment to more accurate commodity categories before pursuit decisions are made.
