UNSPSC 85521279: Excision of right internal jugular vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05BM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85521279 Excision of right internal jugular vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The source records show no solicitations for surgical procedures or vessel excision services. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader healthcare administrative and occupational medical services — independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging of these opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the code's clinical scope and how state and local health systems are using the UNSPSC taxonomy in practice.

The recent activity does reflect genuine state and local health procurement across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability pension determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical procedure carve-out benefit manager (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414); and Santa Clara Health System is establishing a vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with a mix of county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and special-purpose districts. However, no actual opportunities under this code involve the surgical procedure named — the code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated scope.
