This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 05NQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85522435 "Release left external jugular vein, percutaneous approach," a Commodity code, does not correspond to the state and local procurement opportunities identified in the source material. The recent solicitations tagged under this code describe administrative health services, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and medical evaluation services for public employees and beneficiaries—none of which involve the specific procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The code exhibits a significant mismatch between its anatomical-procedure nomenclature and the actual work being solicited by state and local issuing bodies. No recent state and local opportunities directly procure the clinical service named by this code.

The solicitation opportunities appearing under this code reflect health plan administration and workforce medical support rather than surgical procedures. These include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); pharmacy benefit management services (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP 25-8414); temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). This code does not appear to represent an active procurement category for state and local governments and should be verified against the actual scope of work being purchased before pursuing opportunities tagged with this UNSPSC designation.
