UNSPSC 85522237: Replacement of left external jugular vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left external jugular vein with autologous 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 05RQ07Z

UNSPSC 85522237 Replacement of left external jugular vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involves vascular replacement surgery or tissue grafting. This mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a code applied as a proxy for broader healthcare service categories rather than the specific surgical intervention its name describes.

The recent opportunities issued under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county correctional authorities (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement signal relevant to vascular surgery procurement and does not represent actionable opportunity guidance for firms pursuing state and local healthcare contracts.
