UNSPSC 85522431: Repair left external jugular vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left external jugular vein, 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 05QQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85522431 Repair left external jugular vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity identified in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect administrative and clinical healthcare services procurement, including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve repair of external jugular veins or percutaneous vascular intervention. This mismatch suggests either a miscoding issue in the source data or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement without regard to its specific procedural scope.

The issuing bodies include a county prison system (Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department), county human resources and benefits agencies (Collier County and Monroe County), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). Activity appears concentrated in Florida and California, with one solicitation from Georgia. Geographic spread is sparse and scattered rather than concentrated in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services with proposals due May 15, 2026 (current contract value approximately $95,537.71 monthly), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical spending near $8.7 million annually (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP for approximately 2,300 county members with award anticipated for June 10, 2026 and service start October 1, 2026. The code shows limited relevant recent activity and no clear alignment between its nominal scope and the health services being solicited under it.
