UNSPSC 85522235 Replacement of left external jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure taxonomy designation and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical vein replacement services; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical care networks, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state procurement databases, used as a catch-all medical services categorization rather than a precise procedural code. No issuing body has recently solicited vein replacement procedures or related surgical supplies under this designation.

The recent opportunities cluster across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida jurisdictions. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach is procuring a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). This code presents no actionable procurement signal for vendors supplying surgical vein replacement products or services.
