UNSPSC 85521009: Restriction of left internal jugular vein with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left internal jugular vein with extraluminal device, open 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 05VN0CZ

UNSPSC 85521009 Restriction of left internal jugular vein with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for vascular intervention, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve jugular vein restriction or the surgical technique the code describes. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error or that the code is being misapplied to general healthcare procurement rather than to the specific procedure it nominally covers.

The recent opportunities show activity across state and local health and human services agencies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System, but the opportunities do not support a coherent procurement narrative aligned with the code's nominal scope. The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) are the most concrete recent solicitations, but neither involves the procedure named in the code. Given the lack of alignment between the code's stated scope and the actual procurement activity tagged to it, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors seeking work in vascular surgical procedures.
