UNSPSC 85522460: Extirpation of matter from right external jugular vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 05CP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85522460, Extirpation of matter from right external jugular vein, percutaneous approach (Commodity), shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure code name and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention medical services—none of which involves the specific vascular procedure the code's name describes. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly across diverse healthcare administration and staffing functions rather than to the targeted procedural intervention it nominally represents.

The issuing bodies include mid-sized and large cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent solicitations cluster in the Southwest and West Coast, with activity from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (proposals due October 16, 2026, maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferries facilities across 14 locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, with two-year initial term and options to extend), and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code currently reflects administrative and occupational healthcare procurement rather than surgical or vascular procedures and carries limited value for firms focused on the clinical intervention its name suggests.
