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 03UH0JZ

UNSPSC 85502557 Supplement right common carotid artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments actually buy under recent opportunities tagged to it. The recent opportunities record no surgical or vascular-procedure solicitations; instead, they show independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's nominal scope—a specific vascular surgical procedure—does not align with the administrative and clinical management services state and local buyers are procuring. No relevant recent activity supports pursuit under this code as currently described.

The source contains no state and local contract opportunities that match the code's stated scope of carotid artery supplementation or other procedural surgery. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or that this code does not reflect active state and local procurement demand. A business development professional should verify the correct code classification for the service areas actually being solicited—medical evaluation, pharmacy management, occupational health, and temporary clinical staffing fall under different UNSPSC families and commodities—before allocating resources to monitor or pursue work under 85502557.
