UNSPSC 85501014: Restriction of right internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right internal carotid artery with intraluminal 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 03VK0DZ

UNSPSC 85501014 Restriction of right internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular intervention. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with the code's nominal clinical scope. The opportunities solicited include disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks for public employees, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involve carotid artery restriction with intraluminal devices or open surgical vascular procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging misalignment in the procurement system or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader health services procurement without specificity to the underlying medical procedure.

The issuing bodies span multiple government sectors: a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal employer (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). The geographic distribution includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no single state or jurisdiction dominating recent activity. Without verified opportunities that genuinely match the carotid artery code's clinical definition, this code shows no meaningful recent market activity for state and local procurement professionals pursuing vascular surgical device or service contracts.
