UNSPSC 85521123: Destruction of left internal jugular vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left internal jugular vein, 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 055N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85521123 Destruction of left internal jugular vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the scope of actual state and local procurement activity in the source data. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations posted under this classification request medical services that bear no clinical relationship to jugular vein destruction — namely, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's abstract clinical name and the concrete procurement activity suggests either a cataloging error in the source system or that this Commodity code is being misapplied to health-care service contracts that do not match its procedural scope.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting typical state and local health-benefits and occupational-health purchasing. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach seeking surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The code shows no coherent recent procurement pattern aligned with its stated scope and should not be relied upon for accurate market intelligence.
