UNSPSC 85522247: Release left external jugular vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 05NQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522247 Release left external jugular vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recently posted opportunities in the source—inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—are unrelated to the surgical procedure named in the code. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification from a medical taxonomy that does not align with the goods and services state and local governments actually procure through their purchasing offices.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local buying patterns suggests this code is either rarely used in state and local procurement or has been applied to opportunities through data-entry error. Vendors pursuing state and local contracts in healthcare administration, employee health benefits, emergency services support, or behavioral health should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignments before targeting opportunities in these areas.
