UNSPSC 85521517: Dilation of right internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 057M4ZZ

UNSPSC 85521517 Dilation of right internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations for public-safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular dilation procedures or the specialized interventional imaging and operating-room infrastructure that code implies. The mismatch suggests either systemic miscoding in the state and local procurement databases that feed the opportunity feed, or that this code's use by state and local issuing bodies diverges sharply from its clinical taxonomy definition.

The recent activity instead reflects heavy reliance on administrative and benefit-management medical services across diverse public-sector employers. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is procuring independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical benefit network management through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation (Ferries division) is sourcing occupational medical surveillance with occupational-medicine-board-certified physicians across 14 ferry locations; Harris County Juvenile Probation is seeking hospital and specialty emergency services for detained youth; Collier County is managing pharmacy benefit administration covering roughly 2,400 employees; and Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified-vendor pool for temporary clinical staffing across 13 ancillary categories. Issuing bodies span state agencies, county governments, and city procurement offices. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. Given the evident miscoding and the absence of opportunities that actually solicit vascular interventional services, this code warrants investigation before pursuit.
