UNSPSC 85522619: Destruction of left external jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 055Q4ZZ

UNSPSC 85522619 Destruction of left external jugular vein, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code across state and local jurisdictions do not procure surgical procedures or medical interventions. Instead, they solicit independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit administration, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — functions that involve medical service delivery, staffing, or benefit administration rather than the performance of vascular procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental divergence between UNSPSC's clinical taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices deploy it for medical-service contracts.

No state and local government solicitations under this code are actively seeking vascular surgical services or procedure-specific medical interventions. The issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — are all state and local public entities, but none are procuring the service named in the code. Given this pattern, this code does not represent actionable procurement opportunity for vendors providing vascular procedures or related clinical services.
