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 little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The posted opportunities tagged under this code do not align with its nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — and instead reflect a mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the actual work being solicited. Recent state and local solicitations under this code include inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve carotid artery repair or surgical intervention.

Because the code's recent opportunity set does not reflect procurement activity related to its stated clinical scope, the code presents no clear business development signal for vendors in surgical services, medical devices, or perioperative support. Monitor this code for reclassification or clarification by state and local procurement offices, as the current tagging suggests either systematic miscoding or a data-quality issue rather than genuine demand for the procedure itself.
