UNSPSC 85502644: Occlusion of left common carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left common carotid artery with extraluminal 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 03LJ0CZ

UNSPSC 85502644 "Occlusion of left common carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent record. The code's title references a specific surgical procedure — a vascular intervention — yet the most recent opportunities tagged under this code solicited independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgery carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve carotid artery occlusion devices or the procedural implant the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is used by state and local procurement systems to classify broader healthcare service administration rather than the specific device intervention its name implies.

The recent opportunities span issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and county probation departments, with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No opportunities in the record show actual procurement of carotid artery occlusion devices or related surgical implants. Given the absence of device-procurement solicitations and the categorical mismatch between code definition and tagged opportunities, this code does not present a relevant pursuit vector for vendors supplying vascular surgical devices or related implants to state and local government.
