UNSPSC 85502529: Restriction of right common 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 common 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 03VH0DZ

UNSPSC 85502529 Restriction of right common carotid artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedural scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve carotid artery intervention procedures or vascular surgical services of any kind. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems that assigned these opportunities to this UNSPSC category, or the code's use as a generic placeholder for unrelated health services procurement that bears no connection to the code's defined clinical service line.

Without recent opportunities that actually solicit carotid artery restriction devices or open-approach vascular interventions, no issuing body, geographic concentration, or representative procurement pattern can be meaningfully characterized under this code. Vendors evaluating this Commodity code should assume the recent activity is noise rather than signal and pursue opportunities in health services categories—such as medical staffing, benefits administration, or occupational health—through their respective UNSPSC families rather than through this vascular surgery code.
