UNSPSC 85522419: Supplement left external jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left external jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 05UQ3KZ

UNSPSC 85522419 Supplement left external jugular vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure — supplementing an external jugular vein with nonautologous tissue via percutaneous approach — but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect vascular surgery procurement. Instead, the tagged solicitations span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities align with vascular surgical supply, device procurement, or operative technique services that the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local posting systems or that this UNSPSC designation is not actively used by procurement offices for vascular surgical interventions. The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies — city retirement offices, municipal health systems, county governments, state transportation departments, and health service consortiums — across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none involve procurement related to the jugular vein procedure named in the code. For vendors evaluating whether to pursue opportunities under this code, the signal is clear: despite the code's technical name, state and local governments are not currently soliciting vascular surgical services or devices under UNSPSC 85522419. Prospective pursuits should verify actual commodity codes used by target jurisdictions before bid preparation.
