UNSPSC 85501128: Drainage of left internal carotid artery with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left internal carotid artery with drainage 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 039L00Z

UNSPSC 85501128 Drainage of left internal carotid artery with drainage device, open approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which concern drainage of a carotid artery or the procedural clinical work the code purports to name. The mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied by posting agencies or that this commodity code sits in a taxonomy segment (health and medical services procurement) where state and local buyers tag opportunities without strict adherence to procedure-level specificity.

State and local procurement of health and medical services under broader family and class codes remains active across the geographies represented: Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The issuing bodies span city procurement offices, county departments, state transportation agencies, health systems, and special-purpose retirement boards. If your firm provides occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, temporary health professional staffing, or PBM administration, those categories are actively solicited; however, this specific commodity code does not reliably signal those opportunities and should not be relied upon for targeting or pipeline development.
