UNSPSC 85522478: Dilation of left external jugular vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left external jugular vein with intraluminal device, 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 057Q3DZ

UNSPSC 85522478 Dilation of left external jugular vein with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that reflects a specific clinical vascular procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little alignment with this nominal scope. The code appears to capture public-sector health services procurement broadly rather than a discrete medical device or procedural intervention. Recent solicitations under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and related health administration services. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners—a mix of municipal, state, and county human services and benefits functions rather than clinical procurement from hospitals or health care delivery organizations.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, and Washington, with representation from Texas and Florida as well. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a response date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP for a surgical benefit carve-out program with a response date of October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing services with a response date of October 7, 2026. The code's labeling-to-activity mismatch suggests that state and local procurement offices are applying this clinical procedure code as a catch-all for health services contracting rather than tracking actual device procurement; business development professionals pursuing work in public-sector health administration and employee benefits should monitor activity here, but should note that the code's taxonomy label does not reflect what is actually being bought.
