UNSPSC 85522408: Restriction of left external jugular vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left external jugular vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous 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 05VQ3DZ

UNSPSC 85522408 Restriction of left external jugular vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific invasive medical procedure — endovascular restriction of the left external jugular vein — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect instead general occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical carve-out programs. None of these solicitations involves the procedural intervention the code nominally describes, nor do they request implantable medical devices, catheter-based interventions, or vascular access services.

The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual work state and local buyers are requesting under this tag suggests either a classification error in the issuing systems or that the code has been repurposed for broader health services administration. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC classification against their target customer's actual procurement needs rather than relying on the code's clinical name as a predictor of opportunity scope.
