UNSPSC 85502631: Occlusion of face artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of face 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 03LR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502631 Occlusion of face artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The five opportunities posted between February and April 2026 and tagged under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services—bear no clinical or operational relationship to surgical occlusion of a facial artery. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure typically performed in hospital operating rooms under controlled clinical conditions, whereas the tagged opportunities span institutional healthcare administration, benefit plan management, telemedicine platforms, mental health support, and medical directorship—none of which involves the surgical procedure the code names.

The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the source or a state or local procurement system that has miscoded healthcare-related opportunities under an anatomically specific surgical code. State and local buyers do occasionally acquire healthcare services (as these opportunities demonstrate), but the code itself does not track meaningful procurement volume in the surgical procedure category. Business development professionals should verify whether the code is correctly mapped in their target jurisdictions' procurement systems before investing in pursuit strategy, as the current tagging does not reflect genuine demand for occlusion-of-face-artery services.
