UNSPSC 85521524 Destruction of right internal jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal relevance to the code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement activity around occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluation, specialty surgical networks for public employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which directly involve destruction of the right internal jugular vein via percutaneous endoscopic approach. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the broader health services being solicited suggests either miscoding of the opportunities or use of this code as a catch-all for medical evaluation and specialty healthcare services within state and local employee and beneficiary benefit administration.

The issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span state departments, county health systems, municipal retirement boards, and county commissioners' offices across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year contract) supporting disability determinations for public safety pension applicants; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 WSF locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. If pursuing work under this code, verify the actual clinical or administrative scope with the issuing body, as the code's literal definition does not align with the procurement activity currently tagged to it.
