UNSPSC 85532169: Excision of left greater saphenous vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 06BQ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85532169 Excision of left greater saphenous vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no connection to the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect medical evaluation, surveillance, and staffing services entirely unrelated to vascular surgery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees; the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. No recent state or local procurement under this code targets excision procedures, vascular interventions, or endoscopic services of any kind.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests either a systematic miscoding issue in state and local procurement databases or an unusually narrow clinical procedure code applied to broader health services contracts. State and local buyers continue to use codes inconsistently across jurisdictions; this code does not reliably identify vascular surgery procurement opportunities. Business development professionals pursuing medical services contracts in state and local markets should rely on keyword searches and issuing-body monitoring rather than code-level filtering for this taxonomy entry.
