UNSPSC 85501409: Restriction of left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic 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 03VL4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501409 Restriction of left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit surgical interventions of this type. Instead, state and local governments are using this code to tag medical services contracts that span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth detention — a pattern indicating either miscoding or a fundamental mismatch between the code's procedural intent and how jurisdictions are applying it to broader health administration and staffing services.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability benefit evaluations for public safety pensioners), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals), the City of Long Beach (surgery benefit management for municipal employees and retirees), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), and others. Geographic reach spans Arizona, Washington State, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent disability medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across multiple locations with results due by October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows no discernible concentration of activity and limited decision relevance for firms pursuing contracts aligned with the code's stated procedural scope.
