UNSPSC 85501109: Insertion of intraluminal device into right internal carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into right 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 03HK0DZ

UNSPSC 85501109 Insertion of intraluminal device into right internal carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code showing a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, specialty surgery carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, and inpatient and emergency care coordination for detained youth — none of which involve the insertion of intraluminal devices into carotid arteries or procedural medical device placement. The code does not reflect any state or local procurement activity matching its clinical descriptor.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county government purchasing offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), city procurement bureaus (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with response dates ranging from September 2026 through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026); and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications (due October 16, 2026). This code should likely be skipped by vendors in medical devices or procedural surgery; the tagging appears to be administrative error rather than a signal of state and local procurement demand in that sector.
