UNSPSC 85501520: Excision of left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 03BL4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501520 Excision of left internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code. The code's abstract definition does not align with the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations show no procurement of the specific surgical procedure named in the code; instead, they reflect a broader mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and actual work being bought.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities materially relevant to this code's stated scope. Recent opportunities posted under this code descriptor include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out program management (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing across clinical ancillary categories (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve carotid artery excision or comparable procedural surgery. The code's present application appears to be a classification error in the source material rather than an active procurement category in state and local government.
