UNSPSC 85501011: Restriction of left internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, open 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 03VL0CZ

UNSPSC 85501011 Restriction of left internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code showing a clear mismatch between its procedural-surgery taxonomy label and the state and local contract opportunities actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve carotid artery restriction procedures or surgical devices; instead, they encompass occupational and occupational-health medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit management carve-outs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty emergency medical services for detained youth, and healthcare network administration. State and local issuing bodies using this code include county governments (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and transit authorities (Washington State Ferries). The scope of work spans occupational health program management, benefits administration, temporary clinical staffing placement, and healthcare procurement coordination for public employees and beneficiaries rather than surgical device implantation.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years) focused on disability benefit application review and medical examination scheduling for fire and police pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with five optional extensions); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, five-year Qualified List with no guaranteed volume). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal procedural-surgery scope and appears to be a tagging misalignment rather than an active procurement category for the work it nominally describes.
