UNSPSC 85502414: Extirpation of matter from left internal mammary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left internal mammary 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 03C14ZZ

UNSPSC 85502414 Extirpation of matter from left internal mammary artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific cardiac surgical procedure—does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a fundamental misalignment: the solicitations involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention medical services, and surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs for employee benefit plans. None of these services involve the percutaneous endoscopic procedure named in the code. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope and appears to reflect a data-tagging error rather than active procurement of cardiac intervention services by state and local bodies.

The geographic spread of the opportunities actually tagged to this code spans Washington State (Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), suggesting the tagging misalignment affects multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies. This code warrants skipping unless your firm is pursuing general health services or administrative staffing contracts—in which case the code assignment itself is unreliable for filtering and you should rely on opportunity-level research rather than code-tier classification.
