UNSPSC 85522459 Extirpation of matter from left external jugular vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure with a medical-billing nomenclature (a vein procedure coded to a singular anatomical site and approach method), but the recent state and local solicitations tagged to it do not correspond to this clinical intervention. The opportunities posted under the code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care-center-of-excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories—represent broader healthcare administration, employee health benefits, and clinical workforce contracting rather than surgical extirpation services. The code appears to have been applied to these opportunities in error or in a way that does not align with its stated scope.

The recent solicitations span multiple states and issuing body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona, RFP for independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (California, RFP for surgical benefit carve-out due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas, RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida, RFP for pharmacy benefit management with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California, RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code is not a reliable vehicle for pursuing healthcare contracting opportunities in the state and local market.
