This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left external 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 037N0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502743 Dilation of left external carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent postings tag health system and government agency solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which constitute dilation of an external carotid artery. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing-agency level or a data-entry error in the UNSPSC assignment; the code shows no relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope.

Recent opportunities under this code designation come from Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara, Collier County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), reflecting a geographically dispersed but limited set of issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services on September 16, 2026, with proposals due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance on August 25, 2026, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing on July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of alignment between the code name and the opportunities tagged to it, pursuit decisions should be driven by manual review of issuing-agency intent rather than UNSPSC categorization alone.
