UNSPSC 85501238: Reposition left internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left internal carotid artery, 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 03SL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501238 Reposition left internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit cardiovascular surgical interventions but instead cover independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve reposition of the internal carotid artery. The code's application in state and local procurement does not match the procedural specificity implied by its UNSPSC classification.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks covering approximately 3,800 enrolled employees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. The code's recent activity does not reflect true demand for the specific procedure named in the UNSPSC definition.
