UNSPSC 85522219: Supplement left external jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left external jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 05UQ0KZ

UNSPSC 85522219 Supplement left external jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular tissue replacement. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's clinical scope. The opportunities solicited span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve jugular vein supplementation or tissue substitutes. This represents a significant mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the actual work being procured, indicating the code has little relevant recent activity for firms targeting state and local healthcare or medical device contracts in this therapeutic category.

The geographic spread of opportunities posted under this code includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Given the substantial misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities, this code does not represent a viable pursuit target for vendors supplying vascular surgical materials, tissue substitutes, or related procedural products to state and local public bodies. The issuing bodies are diverse — state agencies, county health systems, county procurement offices, and municipal retirement boards — but the work they are actually buying falls outside the UNSPSC code's defined specialty.
