UNSPSC 85501212: Restriction of left internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous 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 03VL3BZ

UNSPSC 85501212 Restriction of left internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose title reflects a specialized medical procedure, but state and local procurement opportunities solicited under this code do not align with that clinical scope. Recent activity shows no direct requests for carotid restriction devices or related interventional cardiology supplies. Instead, the tagged opportunities span independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests either a cataloging error or that the code is being misapplied in state and local systems.

The issuing bodies across these recent opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal government (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 County, California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no pattern of concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services posted September 16, 2026 with a response deadline of October 16, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services posted August 25, 2026 with proposals due October 9, 2026. Because the code's title does not match the work actually being solicited, this category warrants caution—the opportunities may reflect data-entry errors rather than genuine demand for carotid restriction devices in state and local procurement.
