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 nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with that clinical scope. The opportunities instead span comprehensive jail medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve vascular intervention or carotid artery repositioning. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of county governments (Collier County, Monroe County, Santa Mateo County) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), together with county correctional facilities and behavioral health authorities. The mismatch between the code's stated clinical procedure and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the state procurement system or a systemic miscoding of health services under this UNSPSC category.

The recent opportunities cluster in Florida (Collier County, Monroe County) and California (San Mateo County), with one Georgia solicitation (Muscogee County Prison) and one California municipal contract (Santa Monica). Representative solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026, with a current monthly service cost of $95,537.71 under the incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). This code does not appear to be used consistently for its stated commodity—business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities under it.
