UNSPSC 85502634: Occlusion of left external carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of 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 03LN0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502634 Occlusion of left external carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code is a clinical procedure classification from a medical taxonomy and does not describe goods or services state and local governments purchase. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which concern carotid artery occlusion or vascular surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests the code was assigned incorrectly to these solicitations and does not reflect meaningful procurement categories under UNSPSC.

The source shows no relevant recent state and local contracting activity under this code. Opportunities posted in the second and third quarters of 2026 across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas address healthcare administration, staffing, and management services rather than the clinical intervention the code nominally describes. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes pending verification that the code assignment aligns with actual solicitation scope.
