UNSPSC 85502606: Repair left external carotid artery, 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 03QN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502606 Repair left external carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five recent opportunities in the block—inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, pharmacy benefit management for Collier County in Florida, virtual primary and urgent care for Monroe County in Florida, peer support services for San Mateo County in California, and a fire department medical director for Santa Monica in California—are all healthcare service contracts and clinical staffing arrangements that fall outside the scope of a surgical procedure code for vascular repair. The code itself describes a specific inpatient surgical intervention that state and local procurement offices do not typically purchase as a standalone service line; such procedures are delivered within hospital networks or managed-care contracts rather than procured independently by jurisdictions.

No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block target the work this code describes, and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual healthcare services being solicited suggests the code carries little transactional weight in state and local procurement right now. Pursuit of opportunities under this code should remain on hold pending evidence of actual demand from health systems, county hospital authorities, or correctional-health providers issuing standalone requests for vascular surgical services.
