This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right internal jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85521025 Supplement right internal jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with that clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted since July 2026 span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve vein supplementation or tissue substitutes. The issuing bodies include 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, representing a mix of city retirement boards, county human resources and procurement offices, state transportation agencies, and county health systems. The code appears to be misapplied or used as a catch-all for diverse medical service procurement rather than reflecting genuine demand for the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread across recent activity includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years for disability benefit medical record review and physician examinations), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with two-year term and optional five-year extension), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed volume). The code's recent activity does not reflect genuine procurement of the surgical procedure it nominally identifies; pursuing opportunities under this code requires verification that individual solicitations are correctly tagged before business development investment.
