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 03SM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502565 Reposition right external carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, county pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve surgical repositioning of the external carotid artery or related vascular procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical intervention, yet the state and local contract opportunities tagged to it reflect healthcare administration, management services, and clinical support roles that operate at an entirely different functional level. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the sourcing system or a fundamental misalignment between the code taxonomy and the opportunities being indexed under it.

No relevant recent activity exists under this code for vendors pursuing state and local healthcare or vascular surgery opportunities. Business development professionals evaluating this code should clarify the underlying data quality issue with their procurement intelligence sources before committing time to monitoring or pursuing opportunities. The opportunities shown — including Muscogee County Prison's inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP (due April 16, 2026) — are legitimately active state and local solicitations but do not represent the work this code nominally describes.
