UNSPSC 85501410: Restriction of left internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, 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 03VL4DZ

UNSPSC 85501410 Restriction of left internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure code name and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this tag. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency healthcare for detained youth — none of which involve intraluminal carotid artery restriction procedures. The issuing bodies include a state transportation department, county human resources and juvenile justice offices, city retirement pension boards, and county health systems. This suggests the code has been misapplied in state and local procurement systems to capture general medical services and benefits administration rather than the specific interventional cardiology procedure its UNSPSC nomenclature describes.

The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas based on recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeking occupational medicine examinations across 14 ferry terminals; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability determinations under the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) seeking Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures. Because the code's actual procurement activity bears no operational relationship to carotid artery intervention, firms should treat opportunities tagged under this code as potentially misclassified and verify scope alignment before pursuing — the code itself is not a reliable signal for business development targeting.
