UNSPSC 85502620: Occlusion of left thyroid artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left thyroid artery with intraluminal device, 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 03LV0DZ

UNSPSC 85502620 Occlusion of left thyroid artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — endovascular intervention on a thyroid vessel — yet the six recent opportunities in the dataset reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve thyroid artery occlusion, intraluminal devices, or related surgical supplies or services. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this Commodity code does not currently reflect active demand from the jurisdictions that have posted opportunities.

The recent activity under this code shows minimal relevance to vascular surgical intervention. Issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. However, because the posted opportunities do not address the code's nominal scope, the geographic and issuing-body distribution is not actionable for firms pursuing thyroid or vascular surgical work. State and local procurement analysts should verify the correct code classification for vascular surgical devices and procedures before pursuing opportunities listed under 85502620.
