This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right internal jugular vein with nonautologous 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 05RM0KZ

UNSPSC 85521045 Replacement of right internal jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal surgical-procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—do not represent vascular or surgical implant procurement and appear to reflect a taxonomy-mapping discrepancy rather than genuine buying activity in the code's stated domain.

The issuers posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems and procurement offices (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Arizona, Florida, California, Washington, and Texas. This pattern suggests either systematic miscoding across multiple state and local jurisdictions or that the code is being used as a placeholder for health services procurement broadly rather than for the specific procedure named. The disconnect between the code definition and actual solicitation scope makes this code unreliable for targeting vendors in the vascular-implant or surgical-procedure markets. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities posted under this number.
