UNSPSC 85501263: Occlusion of right internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 03LK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501263, Occlusion of right internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure, yet the opportunities posted under this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve carotid artery occlusion or percutaneous vascular intervention. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). No meaningful geographic clustering or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from the recent postings.

The mismatch between the code's medical procedure nomenclature and the actual goods and services being solicited suggests that either the code assignment is erroneous or the underlying taxonomy does not reflect the actual classification used by these state and local procurement offices for healthcare administration and staffing services. The five recent opportunities span occupational health compliance (WSDOT's WSF medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), pension system disability determinations (City of Phoenix, due October 16, 2026), employee health plan management (City of Long Beach surgery benefit carve-out, due October 7, 2026), detention facility medical services (Harris County, due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit administration (Collier County, due April 9, 2026), and temporary clinical staffing (Santa Clara County, due October 7, 2026). No meaningful procurement opportunity pipeline exists under this code for the procedure it nominally names.
