UNSPSC 85502521: Restriction of right external carotid artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right external carotid artery with intraluminal device, open 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 03VM0DZ

UNSPSC 85502521 Restriction of right external carotid artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular intervention, but state and local procurement records show no recent opportunities aligned with this medical procedure code. The six recent state and local opportunities in the dataset tagged under or near this code span occupational medical surveillance for state transportation employees, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing for county health systems, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve carotid artery restriction procedures or the specific vascular intervention this code names. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code does not reflect active state and local procurement for the procedure it describes.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities spans Washington State (occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (Phoenix-based pension medical evaluations), California (Long Beach surgical benefits, Santa Clara temporary staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County juvenile probation medical services). No recent solicitations for carotid artery restriction services or comparable cardiovascular surgical procedures appear in the dataset. Given the absence of relevant opportunities and the evident misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually posted, this code shows no actionable near-term activity for vendors focused on the procedure it names.
