UNSPSC 85501047: Replacement of left internal carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left internal carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03RL0KZ

UNSPSC 85501047 Replacement of left internal carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical procedural scope — a specific vascular surgical intervention — does not map to the kinds of services state and local governments actually buy or solicit through their procurement systems.

Recent opportunities tagged to or near this code span occupational and disability medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical procedures, and youth detention healthcare services. None of these represent procurement of the specific surgical procedure named in the code. State and local governments do not typically solicit individual surgical procedures as line-item purchases; they contract for provider networks, staffing services, benefit administration, or facility-based care delivery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach (RFP due October 7, 2026) seeks a surgical carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance. These are administrative, staffing, or network-management services, not procedure-specific procurement. Activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington, with one Texas RFI for youth detention healthcare. This code presents negligible opportunity for vendors seeking state and local contracts.
