UNSPSC 85502648: Occlusion of right 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 right 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 03LH0CZ

UNSPSC 85502648 Occlusion of right common carotid artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with current state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving vascular intervention, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect healthcare services procurement — medical surveillance, disability evaluation coordination, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy management, and temporary health professional staffing — rather than procurement of medical devices, implants, or procedure-specific supplies. The mismatch suggests the code is being applied broadly or incorrectly to health services contracting rather than to the device or supply category the UNSPSC taxonomy intends.

Activity under this code spans multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and special-purpose public safety boards. Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 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 for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing pool (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no concentration in a single jurisdiction. Absent correction of the code assignment, this Commodity appears to lack decision-relevance for vendors pursuing device or supply procurement within the surgical intervention space.
