UNSPSC 85502672: Extirpation of matter from face artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from face 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 03CR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502672 Extirpation of matter from face artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 describe independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that this code does not capture state and local procurement in its actual scope.

State and local governments soliciting medical and health services are using codes that describe those services directly rather than this procedure-specific commodity code. Business development professionals evaluating state and local activity under this code should verify whether the code is actively used by health systems, pension boards, counties, or other public bodies for the procedure it names, or whether it represents archived or rarely applied taxonomy in state and local procurement systems.
