This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right internal jugular vein, 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 05NM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85521244 Release right internal jugular vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure — percutaneous release of the right internal jugular vein — yet recent opportunities posted under this classification span unrelated healthcare services including inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the broad healthcare administration and service delivery work actually being solicited suggests this code is either mislabeled in state and local systems or used as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not fit narrower classifications.

Issuing bodies posting under the code include county and municipal health departments and corrections authorities: Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Health, and Santa Monica Fire Department. Geographic activity spans Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus / Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica). Recent opportunities include Muscogee County Prison's RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management serving 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spend of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary care and 24/7 urgent care (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for peer workers totaling $580,000 in funding (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for an EMS medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows limited relevant recent activity and poor semantic fit with posted opportunities.
