UNSPSC 85501077: Occlusion of left internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, 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 03LL0BZ

UNSPSC 85501077, Occlusion of left internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code nominally tied to a specific vascular surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect procurement of that device or procedure. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code cover independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical care coordination, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve procurement of a bioactive carotid artery occlusion device or the open surgical approach it names. The code appears to be a mismatch with the work actually being bought, or the code has been misapplied by the issuing bodies posting these opportunities.

Activity under this code spans multiple issuing bodies: a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city health system (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara, California). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas, with no state appearing as a clear repeat buyer under this code. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical device focus and the healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits-management work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing device or surgical procedure procurement.
