UNSPSC 85501416: Restriction of right internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right internal carotid artery with bioactive 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 03VK4BZ

UNSPSC 85501416 Restriction of right internal carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-device scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations posted under this code do not reflect procurement of the specified vascular intervention device or related implant materials. Instead, issuing bodies are using the code to tag requests for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detention populations—none of which involve carotid artery restriction devices or endoscopic vascular procedures. The code appears to be misapplied across multiple unrelated healthcare service categories.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out networks including orthopedic and spine procedures (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (258414, with a lapsed due date of April 9, 2026); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and special health districts across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The code does not reflect meaningful procurement of the device or service line its name describes.
