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 03QK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85501059 Repair right internal carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the state and local procurement activity actually being tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass medical evaluation, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-outs for employee benefits—none of which involve repair of the right internal carotid artery. The issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits procurement office (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), a county health care consortium (Collier County), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara). This suggests the code is either misapplied across these solicitations or functions as a catchall for medical services procurement that does not fit more specific UNSPSC categories.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington State (ferry system occupational health), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's nonexclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no meaningful concentration and reflects a wide spectrum of medical service categories that appear misclassified or divergent from the code's stated clinical definition.
