UNSPSC 85502550: Supplement right external carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right external carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03UM0KZ

UNSPSC 85502550 Supplement right external carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities tagged under or near this code—including medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluations—do not involve surgical procedures or tissue supplements. The code describes a specific surgical intervention (carotid artery repair using synthetic tissue), but state and local buying activity in the current dataset reflects administrative healthcare support, occupational health screening, and staffing contracting rather than operative surgical services or implantable medical devices. The mismatch suggests this code is either rarely used in state and local procurement or has been applied incorrectly to unrelated healthcare solicitations in the source system.

State and local jurisdictions procuring healthcare services—including the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are actively buying occupational medicine, pharmacy management, specialty procedure networks, and temporary clinical staffing, but not surgical implant or tissue-substitute services. This code does not surface procurement opportunity for vendors in the surgical-device or tissue-engineering space under state and local contracting at this time.
