UNSPSC 85502641: Occlusion of right 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 right 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 03LM0BZ

UNSPSC 85502641 Occlusion of right external carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual scope of recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular intervention, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve arterial occlusion devices or the procedure named in the code. State and local procurement systems appear to have assigned this code to general health administration and occupational health services without consistency to the code's actual definition.

The recent opportunities reflect activity from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). The issuing bodies are a mix of city pension boards, county human resources departments, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile justice departments. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant activity; the mismatch between code definition and actual opportunities suggests a taxonomy assignment error rather than a procurement category with coherent recent market activity.
