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 03VH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502528 Restriction of right common carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source shows no solicitations for carotid artery restriction procedures or related surgical services. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which relate to the specific vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

No relevant recent activity appears under this code. The mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy and the actual procurement opportunities suggests that either the code was misapplied during tagging or the code reflects a legacy classification that does not align with current state and local buying patterns in this space. Business development professionals should disregard this code and pursue the underlying healthcare service categories (occupational medicine, pharmacy administration, temporary clinical staffing, disability medical evaluation, or emergency care networks) through their own market research rather than relying on this code's structure.
