This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right external jugular vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85522240 Replacement of right external jugular vein with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a severe mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specific surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out programs for public employee health plans — none of which involve vein replacement or tissue substitute procedures. The source indicates no recent state and local solicitations that align with the code's stated clinical procedure. This classification anomaly renders the code unreliable as a market signal for vendors pursuing work in vascular surgery, tissue banking, or related clinical specialties at the state and local level.

The opportunities misfiled under this code span diverse issuing bodies and geographies. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach's surgical procedure carve-out benefit program for employee health plans (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance for ferries workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Vendors should flag this code for reclassification with state and local procurement offices rather than pursue it as currently tagged.
