UNSPSC 85501448: Replacement of left internal carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left internal carotid artery with synthetic substitute, 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 03RL4JZ

UNSPSC 85501448 Replacement of left internal carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure — replacement of a carotid artery using a synthetic substitute via percutaneous endoscopic approach — yet the five recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve carotid artery replacement, synthetic vascular substitutes, or percutaneous endoscopic procedures.

The issuing bodies represent a diverse mix of state departments, counties, cities, and special-purpose health districts: the Arizona City of Phoenix Retirement Office, California City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department in Texas, Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, and Santa Clara County Health System in California. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. This code appears to carry a misclassification or data-quality issue within the state and local procurement taxonomy rather than representing a category that state and local governments are actively sourcing under its intended definition. Vendors pursuing opportunities in healthcare administration, employee benefit management, occupational health, or temporary clinical staffing should not rely on this code as a reliable signal of relevant procurement activity.
