UNSPSC 85522319: Destruction of right external jugular vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 055P0ZZ

UNSPSC 85522319 Destruction of right external jugular vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the recent solicitations tagged under it. The opportunities posted since July 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for employees, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve destruction of an external jugular vein as a billable procedure line item. State and local procurement systems occasionally tag opportunities with clinical procedure codes when the actual work is administrative, benefits management, or staffing-related; this mismatch suggests the code assignment reflects data-entry error or taxonomy misapplication rather than active demand for this specific surgical service.

The jurisdictions posting under this code include Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (state department). No issuing body appears more than once in the recent block. Given the consistent misalignment between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited—contract administration, medical staffing, and benefits consulting—pursuit of opportunities under this code is not advisable until procurement records clarify the correct UNSPSC classification or demonstrate genuine demand for the procedure itself.
