This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 05BM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85521494 "Excision of right internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal surgical procedure classification and the state and local opportunities actually being solicited under it. The recent contract activity posted against this code does not involve the specific surgical intervention the code describes; instead, it spans medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing placement, and specialty surgical care networks. State and local issuers using this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice authorities, and city benefits administrators—a fragmented mix of agencies with diverse healthcare procurement needs.

Recent opportunities demonstrate the code's misapplication to administrative and staffing healthcare services rather than specific surgical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, budgeted at $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program managing specialty care networks across multiple anatomical specialties for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations. Santa Clara County Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 service categories. Collier County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million. This code shows recent activity primarily in Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida, though the opportunities reflect healthcare administrative procurement rather than surgical procedures; practitioners should verify code alignment with individual issuers before pursuing.
