This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right external jugular vein, open approach.

UNSPSC 85522272 Extirpation of matter from right external jugular vein, open approach is a Commodity code. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. The six most recent postings tag medical and healthcare services procurement activity—independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve the vascular surgical procedure the code describes. State and local procurement systems occasionally classify healthcare administration and service contracting under surgical or procedure codes despite functional mismatch; this code appears to reflect that broader misclassification pattern rather than active solicitation for the specific extirpation procedure named.

The issuing bodies range across state health and transportation agencies, county commissioners' offices, and municipal retirement boards, primarily in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026); Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026); and the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). Given the code's nominal scope and the absence of solicitations for the named vascular procedure, this code presents limited pursuit opportunity for firms offering state and local procurement services in surgical specialties. The mismatch between code assignment and actual work signals potential data-quality issues in how these opportunities are tagged in state and local systems.
