UNSPSC 85502623: Occlusion of right thyroid artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 03LU0DZ

UNSPSC 85502623 Occlusion of right thyroid artery with intraluminal device, open approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its code definition. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent general healthcare administration and staffing services wholly unrelated to vascular surgical procedures or thyroid-artery occlusion interventions. The code's technical medical specificity does not match the actual scope of work being solicited, indicating either a data-quality issue in the underlying opportunity classifications or that this Commodity code does not reflect active state and local procurement in practice.

State and local procurement professionals should treat this code as dormant for business development purposes until opportunities genuinely aligned with its clinical scope—such as regional medical center RFPs for vascular surgery services, hospital network solicitations for interventional radiology procedures, or health system procurements for thyroid or cardiovascular surgery—surface in the market. The current tagging appears to be a classification error rather than a signal of procurement demand.
