UNSPSC 85501058: Repair left internal carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left internal carotid artery, 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 03QL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85501058 Repair left internal carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code do not involve surgical repair of the left internal carotid artery; instead, they address occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgery carve-outs for municipal employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not match the kinds of services state and local governments are actively buying under this tag, which cluster around medical program administration, benefits management, and occupational health compliance rather than the surgical intervention the code name describes.

Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographic regions: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services, RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out through Centers of Excellence for municipal employee health plans, HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (hospital and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated scope and represents a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the actual medical and benefits-administration work being procured.
