UNSPSC 85502745: Dilation of left external carotid artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left external carotid artery with drug-eluting intraluminal 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 037N04Z

UNSPSC 85502745 Dilation of left external carotid artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving vascular intervention—does not align with the actual work state and local bodies are soliciting under this classification.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve dilation of carotid arteries or drug-eluting intraluminal devices. The mismatch suggests either a data-quality issue in how the opportunities were tagged or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for unrelated medical procurement. The jurisdictions posting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Until the tagging accuracy improves or carotid-artery-specific procurement appears, this code does not represent a meaningful business development target in state and local procurement.
