UNSPSC 85501308: Insertion of stimulator lead into right internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of stimulator lead into 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 03HK3MZ

UNSPSC 85501308, Insertion of stimulator lead into right internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach (Commodity), does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. Recent opportunities posted under the code involve independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the implantation of intracranial stimulator leads. The mismatch suggests a classification error in the source data rather than active demand for the specific procedure named in the code.

The issuing bodies pursuing medical and health services across these opportunities span county governments, city procurement offices, and regional health systems: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity is distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no jurisdictional concentration evident in recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services to the Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope.
