This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85522334 Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern the particular vascular bypass procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuers are purchasing medical administration, staffing, and benefits management services across diverse health care settings, not surgical implants or procedure-specific clinical work.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), city/county health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county procurement division (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management due October 7, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026. The code appears to be misaligned with actual state and local procurement activity in this category, suggesting either systematic miscoding by issuers or that the code is rarely used for relevant opportunities.
