UNSPSC 85502675: Extirpation of matter from left common carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 03CJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502675, Extirpation of matter from left common carotid artery, open approach, is a Commodity code that maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect healthcare administration, occupational medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve vascular surgery or carotid artery intervention. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a data classification error that does not reflect genuine procurement demand under this code's nominal scope.

The recent opportunities do surface broad healthcare procurement patterns across state and local buyers: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach requesting surgical procedure carve-out benefits management; the Washington State Department of Transportation requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department seeking emergency and specialty hospital services for youth in custody; Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System seeking temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories. These solicitations span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with response dates between September and October 2026. No decision-relevant procurement appears to exist under the code's stated definition of vascular surgical intervention.
