UNSPSC 85501015: Restriction of right 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 right 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 03VK0CZ

UNSPSC 85501015, Restriction of right internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular intervention. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with the code's surgical-procedure scope; instead, they predominantly reflect procurement for occupational health services, pharmacy benefit administration, emergency medical services, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve carotid artery restriction or extraluminal devices. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees; the City of Long Beach requested surgical benefit carve-out administration for employee health plans; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued a request for information on emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County pursued pharmacy benefit management administration; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. This pattern indicates a tagging mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity under the code's intended commodity classification.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems across Arizona, Washington, Florida, California, and Texas. Given the absence of procurement aligned with carotid artery surgery or extraluminal device placement, the code shows no actionable recent activity for vendors supplying or performing the specified procedure. Firms pursuing state and local contracts in vascular surgery, cardiothoracic care, or related surgical-device services should verify code alignment through direct contact with issuing bodies' procurement offices rather than relying on this code's recent tagging history.
