UNSPSC 85522613: Dilation of left external jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left external jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic 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 057Q4ZZ

UNSPSC 85522613 Dilation of left external jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government purchasing activity reflected in recent posted opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent solicitations tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which concern the procedural intervention named in the code. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or that the code is used as a default catch-all for medical services unrelated to its nominal scope.

The actual work being solicited under this code spans occupational health examinations, disability medical record review and independent evaluations, pharmacy administration, specialty surgical networks, temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles, and inpatient/emergency care. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and county health systems. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 five-year maximum; Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP targeting approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. Geographic spread centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no pattern suggesting concentration in any single jurisdiction or region. The classification inconsistency makes this code unreliable for pipeline development or forecasting; vendors should verify code assignment in actual RFP notices rather than relying on this taxonomy entry.
