UNSPSC 85501551: Destruction of right internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 035K4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501551 Destruction of right internal carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment between its nominal clinical procedure title and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit destruction of carotid arteries or related interventional vascular procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical carve-outs for government employee health plans, temporary ancillary clinical staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare services. The code as currently tagged appears to be a data quality issue rather than a functional procurement category for state and local government contracting.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across California (Santa Clara County Health System temporary staffing, Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out), Washington (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (Phoenix retirement pension disability evaluations), Texas (Harris County juvenile detention healthcare), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with options), the City of Long Beach RFP for Centers of Excellence surgical and oncology procedures (due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with three one-year renewal options), and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool). The code does not reflect a coherent procurement activity and warrants clarification or reclassification in the source data.
