UNSPSC 85501458: Repair left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left internal carotid artery, 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 03QL4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501458 Repair left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities posted under it span healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve interventional vascular surgery or percutaneous endoscopic repair. This mismatch suggests either a coding error in how opportunities were tagged or that the code is not being used for its intended clinical purpose within state and local government procurement systems.

The source contains no state and local solicitations actually seeking interventional cardiology or vascular surgery services under this code. The five opportunities listed—inmate medical services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care (Monroe County), peer support for peer workers (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica)—are administrative healthcare contracting activities unrelated to the surgical repair scope the code nominally describes. There is no recent activity in this code tier that reflects actual procurement for carotid artery repair services at the state or local level.
