This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 03BK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501321 Excision of right internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and the state and local contracting activity tagged under it. Recent opportunities do not reflect procurement of surgical excision procedures or related clinical services matching the code's name; instead, they reflect state and local solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs and Center of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. The code appears to function as a catch-all medical services tag in state and local procurement systems rather than a marker for a specific surgical procedure line.

Recent activity spans multiple issuing-body types—state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach)—across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry system employees (proposals due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for pension disability determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (proposals due October 16, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFP establishing a multi-award qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement pattern aligned with its stated clinical scope.
