UNSPSC 85521483: Insertion of infusion device into right internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05HM43Z

UNSPSC 85521483 Insertion of infusion device into right internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — central venous catheter placement — yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to medical device insertion or surgical technique. Instead, they reflect general health services procurement: independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly to these solicitations or the taxonomy does not align with how state and local health agencies classify medical services contracting.

The issuing bodies in the recent records span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and boards (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and regional public authorities. No substantive opportunities targeting the specific procedure named in the code appear in the recent solicitation block. Bidders evaluating this code should verify the actual scope before committing resources — the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the health services being solicited suggests either a data-classification issue or that the code is not a reliable predictor of relevant state and local procurement activity.
