UNSPSC 85501342: Dilation of right internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 037K3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501342 Dilation of right internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no procurement activity related to medical procedures or vascular interventions. Instead, the solicitations captured under this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve arterial dilation or interventional cardiology. The code appears to have been misapplied or conflated with broader health services categories by issuing bodies, creating a mismatch between the Commodity's nominal scope and live procurement activity.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special healthcare systems (Santa Clara Health System). Recent opportunities span August through October 2026, with the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 for approximately $750,000 over five years; and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP tracking historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the complete disconnect between this Commodity code's defined scope and the health administration and staffing services actually being solicited, the code should not be used as a targeting mechanism for vendors pursuing state and local health service contracts.
