UNSPSC 85502531: Restriction of right common carotid artery with bioactive 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 bioactive 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 03VH0BZ

UNSPSC 85502531 Restriction of right common carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with that scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure it names; instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities fall outside interventional vascular surgery or any carotid artery procedure, indicating a mismatch between the code's nominal definition and what is actually being procured under it in the state and local market.

The jurisdictions posting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach issuing an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for its Anthem PPO plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).
