UNSPSC 85501076 Occlusion of left internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with the code's clinical nominal scope. Recent solicitations tagged under this code do not involve vascular surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. Instead, the posted opportunities comprise occupational medical surveillance services, disability medical evaluations, specialty pharmacy benefits management, surgical carve-out programs for Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These diverse health services fall outside the narrow procedural definition the code purports to describe. The mismatch suggests either systematic coding error in the source data or misclassification of opportunities at the point of posting.

The issuing bodies include county-level human resources and pension administration (Phoenix, Long Beach, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and transit authorities (Washington State Ferries). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no discernible concentration. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated definition.
