UNSPSC 85502556: Supplement right common 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 common 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 03UH0KZ

UNSPSC 85502556 Supplement right common carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities available. The code nominally describes a specific surgical cardiovascular procedure, but the six recent state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare—none of which involve carotid artery supplementation or procedural codes mapped to operative intervention. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure taxonomy and the administrative, staffing, and benefit-management work actually being solicited suggests this code sees little or no relevant recent activity in state and local government procurement.

State and local issuing bodies do not currently solicit services under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 85502556 reflect administrative healthcare procurement (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational health surveillance, City of Phoenix disability evaluation services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out administration, Harris County youth detention medical services, and Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing) rather than surgical procedures or implant sourcing. Without evidence of state and local procurement activity directly aligned to carotid artery surgery or vascular procedure supply, this code does not represent an active pursuit area for firms targeting public sector healthcare or medical device channels.
