UNSPSC 85501475: Occlusion of left internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, 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 03LL4DZ

UNSPSC 85501475 (Occlusion of left internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific interventional cardiology procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect broad health services contracting — independent medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty care networks, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which directly involve percutaneous carotid artery intervention. State and local governments are not sourcing this specific procedure through UNSPSC-coded RFPs; instead, procurement offices appear to have misclassified general health services and benefits administration work under a procedure code. The issuing bodies include county government (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), reflecting a mix of municipal, county, and state healthcare and benefits administration. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations across fire and police retirement boards, with a $750,000 five-year contract cap; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations. The code displays a mismatch between its clinical definition and procurement reality — vendors should recognize that this code's recent activity does not involve cardiac surgery, and the code itself is unlikely to signal genuine demand for the interventional procedure it names.
