UNSPSC 85522275 Excision of left external jugular vein, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure classified within a medical taxonomy; the recent opportunities posted under this code actually reflect requests for occupational and disability medical evaluation services, Centers of Excellence network management for bundled surgical procedures, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which correspond to the code's literal name of excision of a specific vein through surgical approach.

State and local issuing bodies tagging their solicitations under this code include the City of Phoenix (medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit networks), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Because the code's nominal scope diverges substantially from what is actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors seeking to pursue procurement in the medical procedures or surgical services space. Prospective bidders should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service offerings before responding to any solicitation tagged under this code.
