UNSPSC 85502524: Restriction of left common carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left common carotid artery, 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 03VJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502524 Restriction of left common carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the system are tagged with this code but solicit medical staffing, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical care network services, and temporary health professional placement — none of which relate to carotid artery surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests a data tagging error rather than a meaningful procurement category under this code.

The source shows no state and local opportunities for carotid artery restriction procedures. The opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services), Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), the City of Long Beach (surgical care networks and Centers of Excellence), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). These solicitations reflect administrative health-benefit contracting, occupational medicine, and clinical staffing — not procedural surgery. This code shows little decision relevance for firms pursuing state and local procurement contracts and warrants review to correct the UNSPSC classification.
