UNSPSC 85502708: Excision of left common carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 03BJ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502708 Excision of left common carotid artery, open approach (Commodity) shows negligible alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under it are healthcare procurement unrelated to this surgical intervention—they comprise disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None involves excision of the left common carotid artery or vascular surgery procurement as a service line. The source provides no evidence that state and local governments solicit this specific surgical code as a standalone contracted service.

No recent opportunities substantively match the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns. A business development professional should verify whether this code is actively used by state and local procurement offices before investing pursuit effort; the recent activity visible here spans health benefit administration, occupational medicine, and staffing placement—categories that sit at different UNSPSC nodes and bear no operational relationship to carotid surgery.
