UNSPSC 85521044: Replacement of left internal jugular vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left internal jugular vein with autologous tissue substitute, 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 05RN07Z

UNSPSC 85521044 Replacement of left internal jugular vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure for vascular replacement — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it in state and local databases. The posted solicitations capture a broad mix of health services procurement including independent medical evaluations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention medical services. None of these opportunities involve the procedure named in the code.

The mismatch reflects a common tagging pattern in state and local procurement systems, where medical and health-service codes are sometimes applied to administrative, contracting, or staffing work that falls outside the clinical procedure scope. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify actual opportunity tags in their jurisdictions before committing resources to pursuit; the recent postings from the City of Phoenix, Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Long Beach, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County show health services contracting activity, but none target the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes.
