UNSPSC 85522243: Repair left external jugular vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left external jugular vein, 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 05QQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522243 Repair left external jugular vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains no solicitations for surgical vascular repair services; instead, the opportunities posted under this code center on managed healthcare delivery, pharmacy benefits administration, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the vascular surgical intervention the code nominally describes. This mismatch signals either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems tagging these opportunities or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are using it in practice.

The recent opportunities show activity from county health benefits administrations (Collier County, Monroe County), jail health services procurement (Muscogee County, Georgia), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Geographic representation spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative current solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (proposals due May 15, 2026, estimated monthly cost $95,537.71 under the incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC contract); Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million (proposals due April 9, 2026); and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members with an effective date of October 1, 2026 (proposals due April 16, 2026). Given the code's apparent misclassification, firms pursuing healthcare services with state and local buyers should monitor whether this code continues to receive tagged opportunities or whether reclassification occurs, but the current posting pattern does not support procurement strategy grounded in the code's stated scope.
