UNSPSC 85502616: Release right 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 03NM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502616 Release right external carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a surgical procedure — vascular access or intervention on the external carotid artery — but the recent opportunities posted under this code are instead purchasing inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. These solicitations do not align with the purchase of surgical procedure codes or medical supplies and equipment directly related to carotid artery procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either a data classification error or that this code has been applied to healthcare service contracting broadly rather than to the specific procedure it names.

No state and local government buyer is currently soliciting the product or service described in the code's title. The opportunities that carry the code tag are addressing entirely different healthcare service needs — institutional medical management, pharmacy administration, virtual care delivery, and peer mental health support. Given the absence of relevant recent activity under this code, it does not represent an active procurement target.
