UNSPSC 85501064: Release right 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 03NK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85501064 Release right internal carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the actual work being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a classification or data integrity issue at the source rather than a meaningful category for business development purposes.

The six recent opportunities identified across the code span state departments, county governments, and city procurement offices in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, posted between July and September 2026 with response dates in October and November 2026. However, because none of these solicitations addresses the specific procedure indicated by the UNSPSC code number, the classification appears not to represent a genuine procurement need or market segment. Firms pursuing state and local health and medical services contracts should verify the intended UNSPSC code alignment before committing resources to opportunities posted under 85501064.
