UNSPSC 85522258: Occlusion of right external jugular vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 05LP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522258, Occlusion of right external jugular vein, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — vascular occlusion performed via open surgical technique — and state and local governments do not solicit or procure this service as a standalone line item in their vendor contracting processes. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of this procedure; instead, they represent medical staffing, benefits administration, pharmacy management, and occupational health services that are unrelated to the specific vascular intervention the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and state and local contracting practice signals that this code is misapplied in the available opportunity records. State and local agencies that contract for surgical services typically do so through health plan administration, hospital network agreements, or employee benefit programs — not through UNSPSC codes that name individual surgical procedures. For firms evaluating this code for business development purposes, the absence of aligned recent opportunities and the misalignment between code and actual procurement scope recommend deprioritizing this category.
