This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left external jugular vein with synthetic 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 05RQ0JZ

UNSPSC 85522236 Replacement of left external jugular vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities show little activity aligned with that clinical taxonomy. The six posted opportunities in the data set span medical record summarization for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit administration for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing — none of which involve vascular replacement procedures or implantable synthetic substitutes. The issuing bodies reflect the expected diversity of state and local healthcare procurement: two city retirement and benefits offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), a state department of transportation, a county juvenile probation department, a county health system, and a county board of commissioners. No vendor names or awarded contractors appear in the source material.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with no concentration in any single state or region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool with no guaranteed volume). The code appears to be a taxonomic mismatch for the actual procurement activity posted under it; practitioners should verify issuing-body coding practices before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
