This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 03LK4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501478 Occlusion of right internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect vascular intervention procurement; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for retirement determinations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency care services for youth in detention. The code appears to capture a narrow clinical procedure taxonomy that does not map to how state and local health systems, counties, and municipalities organize their medical service contracting. The issuing bodies in the recent record include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), and municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach), with no repeat buyers under this specific code.

Geographic activity spans California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), Arizona (Phoenix), and Washington (state-level), with no identifiable concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeking physician-supervised examinations across 14 ferry system locations on a cost-based evaluation, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability assessments for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applicants at $750,000 maximum over five years, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code's clinical nomenclature does not reflect the work actually being solicited, suggesting either a data-entry mismatch in the posting system or fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC taxonomy and state-local health procurement practice.
