UNSPSC 85502589: Replacement of left common carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left 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 03RJ0KZ

UNSPSC 85502589 Replacement of left common carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code showing minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the surgical procedure specified in the code name; instead, the tagged records reflect medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention healthcare — none of which are arterial replacement procedures or implantable vascular devices. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly across the state and local ecosystem, with no recent solicitations for the specific surgical device, implant materials, or operative services that the code nominally describes.

State and local governments do purchase medical devices, surgical supplies, and healthcare services under various UNSPSC codes, but this particular code shows no clear pattern of actual procurement activity in the recent record. A business development professional pursuing vascular implants, arterial grafts, or surgical procedure bundles should verify the correct UNSPSC code through the issuing jurisdiction before investing in bid preparation; the mismatch between code definition and tagged opportunities here suggests either a data entry error or a fundamental misalignment in how this jurisdiction applies medical device and surgical procedure taxonomy.
