UNSPSC 85532170: Excision of right greater saphenous vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 06BP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85532170 (Excision of right greater saphenous vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not purchase varicose vein surgery or related clinical interventions. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty care delivery for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations address health services administration, occupational health compliance, care network management, and staffing — none of which corresponds to the procurement or arrangement of a named surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the underlying opportunity database or a fundamental divergence between the code's procedural nomenclature and how state and local health systems actually organize their purchasing categories.

Issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries; Texas state juvenile probation), large counties (Harris County in Texas, Collier County in Florida, Santa Clara County in California), and major cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted one of the few opportunities with clear disability medical evaluation focus, seeking independent medical evaluations for approximately 75 annual pension benefit applications through October 16, 2026, with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 starting February 3, 2027. The Washington State Ferries requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations through October 9, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties through October 7, 2026, on a non-exclusive, multiple-award, no-guarantee basis. This code does not reflect purchasing activity concentrated in any single state or consistent across a defined jurisdiction type, and the procedural narrowness of the code name bears no operational relationship to the health services and staffing work state and local buyers are actually posting.
