UNSPSC 85522304: Drainage of left external jugular vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 059Q0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522304 Drainage of left external jugular vein, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, shows no relevant current solicitations. The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 and tagged under this code involve comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care platforms (Monroe County), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica). None of these solicitations procure the surgical drainage procedure the code nominally describes, nor do they involve surgical supply, surgical implant, or operating room services of any kind.

The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code drawn from clinical taxonomy—does not align with how state and local procurement bodies use UNSPSC classification. The misclassification suggests either a data-entry error in the originating procurement system or categorical tag creep in a jurisdiction's taxonomy mapping. For vendors targeting state and local work under drainage or open vascular surgical procedures, this code does not represent a reliable signal of current buying activity and should be verified against the issuing jurisdiction's actual scope before bidding.
