UNSPSC 85522340: Bypass right external jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right external jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, 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 051P0JY

UNSPSC 85522340 Bypass right external jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect no actual procurement of that service. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-outs, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth—none of which align with the code's stated scope of a particular vascular bypass procedure. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), signaling broad cross-sector adoption of this code tag despite the mismatch between nominal scope and actual procurement activity.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas based on recent postings from August and September 2026, with no dominant concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to handle approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The code's recent activity suggests either a systematic data-entry error or a broad institutional practice of applying a procedure-specific code to unrelated healthcare procurement—a signal to verify actual commodity alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under this number.
