UNSPSC 85522256: Occlusion of left external jugular vein with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left external jugular vein with intraluminal device, 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 05LQ0DZ

UNSPSC 85522256 Occlusion of left external jugular vein with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure for vein occlusion—does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare services. None of these activities involve the named surgical procedure. State and local procurement offices appear to have misclassified these health service opportunities under a clinical procedure code rather than under appropriate administrative health services or staffing taxonomies, rendering the code a poor indicator of actual buying patterns in this segment.

The geographic spread of the six recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Given the mismatch between the code's clinical-procedure title and the health-administration and staffing work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local procurement under its nominal scope. Bidders in occupational medicine, disability evaluation, pharmacy benefits, or health staffing should reference the specific jurisdictions and opportunities directly rather than rely on this code for market intelligence.
