UNSPSC 85501350: Destruction of left internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 035L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501350 Destruction of left internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — endovascular destruction of the left internal carotid artery — but the recent opportunities posted under this code are for medical administrative services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs. These solicitations fall outside the scope of the UNSPSC code's nominal definition and reflect apparent miscategorization by the issuing bodies rather than substantive purchasing activity in the procedure category itself.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipalities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation and health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, County of Santa Clara), and span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. None of the solicitations — which include RFPs for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — directly procure or involve the specific procedure named in the code. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing endovascular surgical services in the state and local market.
