UNSPSC 85501228: Supplement left internal carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left internal carotid artery with synthetic substitute, 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 03UL3JZ

UNSPSC 85501228 Supplement left internal carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent activity among state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or internal carotid artery interventions. The code's nominal scope, which describes a specific percutaneous endovascular procedure, does not align with the medical administration, staffing, and benefit management services actually being solicited by state and local issuers under this tag.

State and local procurement systems occasionally mislabel or overapply UNSPSC codes, particularly in healthcare and human services categories where taxonomy boundaries are fluid. This code shows a systematic mismatch between its procedural definition and the operational health services being procured. A firm evaluating pursuit of state and local work in vascular surgery or related clinical services should verify code assignment directly with issuing agencies rather than rely on this tag.
