UNSPSC 85522435: Release left external jugular vein, percutaneous approach

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 is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunity record. The code nominally describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the most recent opportunities solicited under this code encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services for county correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical director services for a fire department—none of which involve the procedural intervention named in the code.

This misalignment suggests the code has been incorrectly applied to these opportunities by the issuing or posting bodies, or the code's scope has diverged substantially from actual procurement practice. The opportunities posted include Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison comprehensive medical and pharmacy services, RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Pharmacy Benefit Management Services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County, Florida (Virtual Primary & Urgent Care Services, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Health (Peer Support for Peer Workers mental health services, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department (Fire Department Medical Director, due October 16, 2025). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and California with one Georgia and one California entry. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the work being solicited, this code presents limited decision value for business development purposes in state and local healthcare or correctional services procurement.
