UNSPSC 85501081: Occlusion of right 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 right 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 03LK0BZ

UNSPSC 85501081 Occlusion of right internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local contract opportunities show little activity directly aligned with this medical device or procedural code. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational and disability-related medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Centers of Excellence networks, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the procurement or deployment of bioactive intraluminal devices for carotid artery occlusion. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this UNSPSC code does not reflect actual state and local purchasing patterns for this narrowly defined device-procedure combination.

The issuing bodies in the recent block include city pension offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), and county procurement divisions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026). This code appears to carry little procurement relevance for vendors focused on vascular device supply or implant services to state and local governments.
