UNSPSC 85502665: Insertion of infusion device into left common 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 common 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 03HJ03Z

UNSPSC 85502665 Insertion of infusion device into left common carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal description does not align with the actual state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities for the specific clinical procedure it names; instead, the opportunities posted under this code reflect disparate health services contracting — disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit network management, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve carotid artery procedures or device insertion. The mismatch appears to reflect a classification error at the point of posting rather than legitimate use of the code for its stated procedure.

The geographic spread of the limited posted opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RTMRFP26001), California (City of Long Beach, HR26753; County of Santa Clara Health System, RFSQHHSFY270052), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, 258414), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, 071626BNM), and Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP20260825). No pattern of repeat issuing bodies or procurement concentration emerges from the handful of records. Given the absence of opportunities actually soliciting the code's named procedure — arterial infusion device placement — this code presents no viable pursuit avenue for firms focused on the clinical intervention it nominally describes.
