UNSPSC 85502637: Occlusion of left external carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left external carotid artery with bioactive 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 03LN0BZ

UNSPSC 85502637 Occlusion of left external carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure code rather than a line of work state and local governments procure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect the procedural specification; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluation, specialty surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing placement — none of which align with the code's stated definition. The opportunities indicate either miscoding at the source issuing bodies or a taxonomy classification issue, as no state or local solicitations for the named carotid artery procedure appear in the recent-opportunities set.

The issuing bodies across these mislabeled opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a total maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management Services RFP with historical spending around $8.7 million annually. Because the code's nominal scope bears no relation to the actual procurement activity tagged under it, this code offers no reliable signal for business development professionals pursuing state and local contracts.
