UNSPSC 85501449: Replacement of left internal carotid artery with autologous tissue 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 autologous tissue 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 03RL47Z

UNSPSC 85501449, Replacement of left internal carotid artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect the surgical procedure specified in its name; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these services involve carotid artery replacement or autologous tissue grafting. The opportunities do reflect genuine state and local health and benefits administration work—disability medical record review, employee medical examinations, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing—but the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited diverge substantially, signaling either a cataloging error at the issuing-agency level or use of the code as a placeholder for health administration services more broadly.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), city health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara), and county benefits administrators (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical specification and the services actually being procured, pursue opportunities under this code only after confirming the issuing agency's intent; the code as currently deployed does not reliably identify relevant procurement in state and local markets.
