UNSPSC 85521257: Occlusion of right internal jugular vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right internal jugular vein with extraluminal device, 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 05LM3CZ

The UNSPSC code 85521257 Occlusion of right internal jugular vein with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity aligned with state and local procurement. The code describes a specific medical device procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve vein occlusion devices or percutaneous vascular procedures. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement system or that the code has been misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing solicitations that fall outside the device's actual scope.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include county human resources departments, city retirement boards, county health systems, and county probation departments in Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, but none of these opportunities appear to contemplate the procurement of the specific medical device named in the code. Practitioners evaluating this code for business development should verify the actual UNSPSC classification used in target RFPs before pursuing opportunities — the visible activity under 85521257 does not reflect medical device procurement or specialty procedure delivery in any recent state or local solicitation.
