This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 03LL4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501474 Occlusion of left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific clinical procedure code drawn from medical billing taxonomy—does not align with the actual state and local opportunities recently posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged with this code request independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. These are administrative health services and benefits management functions, not the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement data or use of medical taxonomy codes as administrative shortcuts in state and local procurement systems rather than as precise indicators of the work being purchased.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems and human resources departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). Readers evaluating this code should verify whether their target customers actually use it or whether a narrower clinical or administrative services code would reflect their service line more accurately.
