This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right internal carotid artery with extraluminal 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 03LK4CZ

UNSPSC 85501480 Occlusion of right internal carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual medical and health administration work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out management, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves arterial occlusion procedures. The issuing bodies include city retirement systems (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county governments (Collier County), and municipal health plans (Long Beach). This classification appears to represent a taxonomy mismatch rather than a coherent procurement category.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), Washington (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), and Florida (Collier County). No pattern emerges that would signal meaningful procurement concentration or opportunity volume under the stated UNSPSC scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal definition of a specific medical procedure; buyers appear to be applying it inconsistently across general health administration and occupational medicine services.
