UNSPSC 85502661: Insertion of infusion device into left external carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into left external carotid artery, 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 03HN03Z

UNSPSC 85502661 Insertion of infusion device into left external carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source shows no opportunities soliciting clinical insertion procedures or medical device implantation services; instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical care network management, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical intervention — bears no connection to the medical administrative, staffing, and benefit-management services state and local governments are actually procuring under this code designation.

The mismatch between code and content suggests a data classification error in the state and local procurement records reviewed. Absent opportunities that actually solicit insertion of infusion devices into external carotid arteries by open approach, this code does not represent actionable procurement activity for surgical device vendors or perioperative service providers. The issuing bodies present in the tagged records — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System — are sourcing administrative health services and staffing, not implantable medical devices or vascular access procedures.
