UNSPSC 85501459: Repair right internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair right 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 03QK4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501459 Repair right internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it. The six most recent state and local contract postings tagged to this code are soliciting occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for retirement benefits, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involves carotid artery repair or the percutaneous endoscopic approach the code describes. The mismatch indicates a classification error in the source data rather than active state and local procurement for this specific procedure.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span Arizona (Phoenix city pension boards), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (ferries division), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no jurisdiction appearing more than once in the recent record. The geographic spread and the absence of any opportunity actually requesting surgical repair services suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code is rarely used for routine contract solicitations. No opportunities represent the work the code nominally describes; accordingly, vendors pursuing procurement opportunities should verify code classification in each RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB before committing resources.
