UNSPSC 85502526: Restriction of left common carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left common carotid artery with extraluminal 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 03VJ0CZ

UNSPSC 85502526, Restriction of left common carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code describes a specific surgical procedure for vascular restriction, yet the recent solicitations tagged to it cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve carotid artery procedures or operative interventions. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code is not actively used for state and local procurement of actual medical services and supplies.

No recent state and local opportunities directly procure the surgical procedure named in this code. The geographic and issuing-body information from the opportunities block—spanning Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Washington State, and Texas (Harris County)—reflects the jurisdictions posting under this code designation, but their actual buying activity falls entirely outside the code's nominal scope. Vendors evaluating this code should recognize that current state and local procurement activity does not target the surgical procedure or device this commodity code describes.
