UNSPSC 85521493: Excision of left internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05BN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85521493 Excision of left internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve jugular vein excision procedures. The code shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal surgical scope and the health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing services that state and local bodies are actually soliciting. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices, city health plan administrators, state transportation departments, county probation systems, county health systems, and county commissioners' offices. This mix reflects the broad reach of public-sector healthcare purchasing across administrative, clinical, and custodial settings.

The recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services totaling $750,000 over five years to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services at 14 ferry system locations statewide; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Given the absence of any recent opportunities for the actual surgical procedure named in the code, this Commodity code should not be pursued as a vehicle for clinical services—the posting misalignment suggests indexing error rather than a viable market segment.
