This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85522635 Bypass left external jugular vein to upper vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities record. The UNSPSC designation appears to be a clinical procedure code misaligned with municipal and county purchasing taxonomy; the recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational health surveillance, medical staffing, pension disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, and surgical-procedure carve-out benefits—none of which are surgical bypass procedures. State and local governments do not solicit or award contracts under this code's nominal scope in the opportunities presented.

The recent postings reveal a disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy assigned and the actual work being bought. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach seeks a surgical-procedure carve-out and centers-of-excellence benefit program for employee health plans (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical roles (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). These are administrative, staffing, and benefits-management activities rather than surgical interventions. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes; pursue opportunities in related administrative healthcare and benefits-management UNSPSC families instead.
