UNSPSC 85501452: Replacement of right 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 right 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 03RK47Z

UNSPSC 85501452, Replacement of right internal carotid artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows no recent activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. State and local governments are not purchasing carotid artery replacement services under this code; the recent opportunities posted against it describe medical evaluation, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which map to vascular surgical procedures.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or a systemic categorization error. Entities recently soliciting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — all seeking administrative or operational health services rather than surgical interventions. Unless state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for health-related services broadly, practitioners should verify the correct commodity classification with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
