UNSPSC 85501261: Occlusion of left internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left 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 03LL3CZ

UNSPSC 85501261 Occlusion of left internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on file. The code nominates a highly specific surgical procedure for treatment of internal carotid artery occlusion, but the recent solicitations posting under this code classify medical services, staffing, and benefit administration functions—including independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which are procedural interventions or device placements. The mismatch suggests either misclassification of opportunities by issuing offices or a data-entry error in the underlying procurement system. State and local governments do purchase medical devices and surgical procedures through group purchasing agreements and health plan contracts, but the recent record does not support buying activity specifically for internal carotid artery occlusion treatment under this code.

Because the code shows no recent opportunities aligned to its nominal scope, no geographic concentration, issuing-body patterns, or representative recent solicitations can be reliably identified from this dataset. Firms evaluating this code for state and local opportunity pursuit should verify correct UNSPSC classification with target procurement offices before strategy development, as the current posting pattern does not support procurement activity in the code's stated commodity domain.
