UNSPSC 85502724: Drainage of left common carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 039J0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502724 Drainage of left common carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a specific anatomical structure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code procure occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve carotid artery drainage or the specific procedure the code name denotes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the issuing body's tagging or the code's use as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement where more precise commodity codes do not exist.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on California (Santa Clara County and the City of Long Beach), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The issuing bodies include county governments, municipal retirement boards, state transportation departments, health systems, and county juvenile justice authorities. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) focused on disability benefit determination for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No recent opportunities directly align with the code's stated scope of carotid artery drainage procedures.
