UNSPSC 85522271: Extirpation of matter from left external jugular vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 05CQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522271 Extirpation of matter from left external jugular vein, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities. The six most recent opportunities in the source—independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System)—address public-sector health plan administration, occupational health compliance, clinical staffing, and benefit delivery rather than surgical vein procedures. These opportunities are procurement of health services management, not medical procedures themselves, and do not correspond to the anatomical and procedural specificity of the code's name.

The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure classification and the administrative and staffing services being solicited suggests either a tagging error or a fundamental misalignment between this Commodity code's intended scope and how state and local procurement offices are using it in practice. No issuing body is soliciting surgical vein procedures, physician-performed vein extraction, operative supplies, or related clinical interventions under this code. A business development professional evaluating this code for opportunity should treat it as dormant for state and local contracting purposes and focus effort elsewhere unless the tagging pattern changes materially in future procurement windows.
