UNSPSC 85501479: Occlusion of right 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 right 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 03LK4DZ

UNSPSC 85501479 Occlusion of right internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure code—and the actual state and local opportunities tagged under it. The recent opportunities include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out benefits coordination through Centers of Excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the specific percutaneous endoscopic arterial occlusion procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), with no standout repeat buyers under this code's label in the recent record.

The code shows activity across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no geographic concentration evident from the sparse recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation procuring occupational medical surveillance services through its Ferries division across 14 Washington locations (RFQ RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with 40 percent price weighting); the City of Long Beach soliciting surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026, with contract start targeted for April 1, 2027); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award). The code's classification appears inconsistent with the actual procurement activity it captures, suggesting either a systemic tagging error in the state and local source data or misalignment between the medical procedure nomenclature and the health services administration work being bought.
