UNSPSC 85521316: Dilation of left internal jugular vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left internal jugular vein with intraluminal 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 057N3DZ

UNSPSC 85521316 Dilation of left internal jugular vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract activity. The code nomenclature describes a specific surgical procedure—vascular dilation with percutaneous access—yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency inpatient services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. State and local procurement systems appear to have misclassified these opportunities; the code shows negligible relevant recent activity for vendors seeking to pursue vascular procedures or related medical device placements.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual buying activity renders this code unsuitable as a procurement signal. Vendors should verify UNSPSC assignments in source notices rather than rely on this category's label, and should monitor the underlying opportunities (Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluations, Long Beach surgical carve-outs, Washington State Ferries occupational health surveillance, and others) through direct issuing-body channels or opportunity aggregators that parse notice text rather than relying on code-level classification alone.
