UNSPSC 85522243 Repair left external jugular vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose scope — specialized surgical repair of a specific blood vessel — does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical repair procedures; instead, they reflect medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefits administration, and temporary health professional staffing services. These are distinct service lines that state and local governments purchase regularly but do not correspond to the code's nominal clinical description.

Activity under this code shows geographic and issuing-body diversity, with recent solicitations from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The City of Phoenix is requesting independent medical evaluation services including disability medical record summary preparation and scheduling of independent medical and psychiatric examinations under RFP RTMRFP26001, with proposals due October 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years commencing February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services under RFP RFP20260825, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; the contract covers baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations across 14 Washington ferry system locations. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical focus; the mismatch between the code definition and actual purchasing activity signals a potential miscoding issue in the state and local procurement system rather than genuine commercial opportunity under this Commodity designation.
