UNSPSC 85522436: Release right external jugular vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release right 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 05NP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85522436 Release right external jugular vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific surgical or interventional medical procedure; however, the posted solicitations tag healthcare service contracts—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 the procurement or delivery of the named procedure. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the scope of the opportunities suggests the code is either incorrectly assigned to these solicitations or serves as a catch-all tag for healthcare contracts within this UNSPSC segment. State and local governments do procure healthcare services through RFP processes, but the recent activity under this code does not reflect procurement of release of the right external jugular vein or comparable medical procedures.

The issuing bodies are county and municipal health and human services agencies: Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Activity is concentrated in Florida and California with representation in Georgia. The representative recent solicitations include Muscogee County Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (posted April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for peer workers under MHSA Innovation funding totaling $580,000 (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows little relevant activity for procedure-specific medical procurement and warrants reassessment for proper classification alignment with actual buying patterns.
