UNSPSC 85502662: Insertion of intraluminal device into right external carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into right 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 03HM0DZ

UNSPSC 85502662 Insertion of intraluminal device into right external carotid artery, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a highly specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve intraluminal device insertion or carotid artery procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding across multiple issuing bodies or an artifact of how healthcare-related opportunities are classified in state and local procurement systems. None of the six recent opportunities present in the record involve procurement of a medical device, implant, or surgical implant service line.

Activity comes from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Because the code does not reflect actual procurement practice under these recent opportunities, business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this commodity.
