UNSPSC 85502639: Occlusion of right external carotid artery with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right external carotid 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 03LM0DZ

UNSPSC 85502639 Occlusion of right external carotid artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being procured under recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a clinical procedure code (occlusion of a specific artery using an interventional device), yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve disability benefit medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve carotid artery occlusion procedures. The mismoric tagging suggests misclassification at the source level rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with the code's stated scope.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies across multiple government types: city pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipalities (City of Long Beach, Harris County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). Representative solicitations include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 state ferry locations (due October 9, 2026). Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the mismatch between the code's clinical procedure scope and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity.
