UNSPSC 85501080: Occlusion of right internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right internal carotid artery with extraluminal 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 03LK0CZ

UNSPSC 85501080 Occlusion of right internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code describes a specific surgical procedure code from clinical terminology, yet the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve carotid artery occlusion procedures or surgical devices.

The mismatch indicates either a data error in how opportunities are being tagged to this code or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC classification and the actual procurement work being solicited. No recent state or local government contract opportunities show active buying for carotid artery occlusion devices or related surgical interventions under this code. State and local buyers should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for medical device, surgical supply, or clinical procedure procurement before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85501080.
