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 03VK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85501013 Restriction of right internal carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedural title and the state and local contract activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities attributed to this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories—reflect administrative health management and staffing procurement rather than a specific surgical procedure. None of the recent solicitations identify or purchase restriction of internal carotid artery procedures themselves. The issuing bodies span diverse state and local entities: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California).

The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no single jurisdiction dominating recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 maximum over five years for disability medical record summary and examination scheduling); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations at 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code appears to be misclassified or overused within procurement systems for health services administration, benefit management, and staffing rather than orthopedic or vascular surgical intervention itself.
