UNSPSC 85501016: Restriction of right internal carotid artery with bioactive 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 bioactive 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 03VK0BZ

UNSPSC 85501016 Restriction of right internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's scope nominally describes a specific surgical procedure for carotid artery restriction using a bioactive intraluminal device performed via open approach—a narrow clinical intervention that state and local purchasing offices do not procure as a line-item service or supply. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect general medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out programs, none of which align with procurement of a defined carotid restriction procedure or its associated devices. The mismatch between the code's narrow procedural definition and the broad healthcare administration and staffing services in the recent record indicates either misclassification in the source tagging or that this code does not track active state and local buying patterns in a meaningful way for business development purposes.

No representative recent opportunities under this code describe the purchase or performance of the specified carotid artery procedure or related bioactive intraluminal devices for open surgical approaches. The code should be treated as inactive or misapplied in current state and local procurement datasets, and professionals should monitor alternative medical device or surgical services codes if they pursue state and local healthcare procurement opportunities.
