UNSPSC 85501508: Insertion of stimulator lead into right internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of stimulator lead into 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 03HK4MZ

UNSPSC 85501508 Insertion of stimulator lead into right internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code procure occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve insertion of stimulator leads or carotid artery procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error or a vendor tagging inconsistency in the source system rather than genuine demand for the procedure itself.

Activity spans multiple states and issuing-body types: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits carve-out), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and inpatient medical services for youth in custody), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Recent opportunities include Washington State Ferries' RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations, due October 9, 2026; Phoenix's RTMRFP26001 for disability medical record summaries and independent medical examinations (75 annual applications over five years, maximum $750,000), due October 16, 2026; and Long Beach's HR26753 for surgical procedure carve-outs serving approximately 3,800 enrolled employees, due October 7, 2026. The code's recent posting history does not support meaningful market activity in the advertised procedure itself.
