UNSPSC 85501074: Occlusion of left internal carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 03LL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85501074 Occlusion of left internal carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure code (an ICD-10-PCS designation for vascular surgery), but the recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these opportunities involve carotid artery occlusion procedures or related surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source system or an incorrect code assignment during solicitation intake.

No relevant recent activity supports procurement opportunities under this code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—are soliciting general occupational health, medical evaluation administration, and benefits management services rather than specific surgical procedures. The code shows little decision-relevant recent opportunity activity; business development professionals pursuing state and local contracts should verify code assignments in source solicitations before bidding and consider whether the actual work aligns with their service offerings.
