UNSPSC 85501543: Dilation 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 dilation 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 037K4DZ

UNSPSC 85501543 Dilation of right internal carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific interventional cardiology procedure, but the state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefits management, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve the procedural intervention the code name specifies. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or use of this code as a placeholder for broader medical services categories where it does not belong substantively.

Recent opportunities do span multiple states and issuing-body types: the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries) posted occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited disability medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations in Arizona; the City of Long Beach requested a surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out program in California; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth in Texas; Collier County in Florida sought pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System in California solicited temporary ancillary clinical staffing. Given the absence of any recent opportunity actually involving carotid artery dilation procedures, pursuit under this code is not recommended without clarification from the issuing procurement system.
