UNSPSC 85521488: Extirpation of matter from left internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 05CN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85521488 Extirpation of matter from left internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with current state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the internal jugular vein, but the recent solicitations tagged under it encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve extirpation from the jugular vein or any procedure-specific clinical intervention. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of health services operations being solicited suggests either a categorical tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that this code is being misapplied to cover administrative and operational health contracting rather than discrete procedural services.

Activity spans multiple issuing bodies across different governance structures: county pension boards and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits administrations (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing solicitation (due October 7, 2026). No meaningful geographic concentration emerges; opportunities come from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the categorical misalignment, this code should be treated as inactive for practical procurement purposes. Firms pursuing state and local health contracting should verify accurate UNSPSC coding in solicitation details rather than relying on this code as a filter.
