This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left common 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 03LJ0DZ

UNSPSC 85502643 Occlusion of left common carotid artery with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect the clinical specificity of the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC reflect a mismatch between the code's medical procedure classification and the work actually being solicited — the opportunities include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations directly involve occlusion procedures using intraluminal devices. The issuing bodies include city pension boards and retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile detention systems (Harris County), county healthcare consortiums (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System).

The recent activity is distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state or region showing particular concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with options to extend); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows activity but appears to carry misclassified procurement records rather than solicitations aligned with the specific surgical procedure named in its definition.
