UNSPSC 85501215: Restriction of right internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right internal carotid artery with extraluminal 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 03VK3CZ

UNSPSC 85501215 Restriction of right internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The six state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of the specified procedure; instead, they address broader health services contracting — independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests that issuing bodies are using this code as a catch-all classification for health services RFPs rather than procuring the specific carotid artery procedure the code nominally describes. State and local procurement offices issuing under this tag include county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city government (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation). No single issuing body appears more than once in the recent opportunity set.

Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, targeting approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with option to extend). The code itself does not report procurement of carotid artery interventions; the tagging appears to reflect administrative classification error or a data-quality issue rather than actual buying patterns in this procedure category.
