UNSPSC 85502725: Drainage of left common carotid artery with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left common carotid artery with drainage device, 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 039J00Z

UNSPSC 85502725 Drainage of left common carotid artery with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical examinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve drainage procedures or arterial intervention. The code does not appear to reflect genuine procurement for the specific clinical procedure its name describes; instead, it appears to have been misapplied across a range of health benefit administration, occupational health, and medical staffing solicitations.

Issuing bodies span county human resources departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), regional transit authorities (Washington State Ferries via Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at $750,000 over five years, the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering eight procedure types through Centers of Excellence, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Given the code's apparent misalignment with actual procurement, firms pursuing work under this Commodity classification should verify directly with issuing bodies whether their service scope genuinely matches the code assignment or whether a different UNSPSC classification would more accurately reflect the health administration or staffing services being sought.
