UNSPSC 85521225: Supplement right internal jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right internal jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 05UM3KZ

UNSPSC 85521225 (Supplement right internal jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—shows little alignment with actual recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for PPO plans, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None involve the named procedure or vascular surgical interventions. This disconnect suggests either miscoding in the source material or use of the code as a fallback classifier for healthcare services outside its intended scope. State and local buying bodies using this code identifier include a state department of transportation (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), and municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), spanning diverse service lines in occupational health, managed care administration, and clinical staffing rather than procedure-specific medical devices or surgical services.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, due October 9, 2026, with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services in support of public safety pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract value commencing February 3, 2027; the City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for surgical benefit carve-out services through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026, with go-live targeted for April 1, 2027; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code assignment appears to be a data quality issue rather than a signal of active procurement in the code's stated domain.
