UNSPSC 85502558: Supplement right common carotid artery with autologous 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 autologous 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 03UH07Z

UNSPSC 85502558 Supplement right common carotid artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular or surgical implant procurement. Instead, the code appears to have been applied to occupational health screening, pension disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which relate to carotid artery supplementation or surgical devices. The source contains no recent opportunities for the surgical procedure the code name describes; the mismatch suggests either a taxonomic labeling error in the source data or use of the code as a miscellaneous catch-all within a particular procurement system.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span occupational medicine (Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), pension disability case management (City of Phoenix requesting independent medical evaluation services for public safety retirees), surgical care networks (City of Long Beach seeking a Center of Excellence carve-out for employee health plans), and temporary clinical staffing pools (County of Santa Clara Health System). These are administrative healthcare-adjacent services, not surgical supply or device procurement. No opportunities matching the literal code scope—vascular grafts, autologous tissue substitutes, or open-approach vascular surgery supplies—appear in the recent activity block. Absent alignment between the code's formal name and the work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a usable target for business development in surgical implant or vascular device supply.
