This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right external carotid artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85502748 Dilation of right external carotid artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with actual state and local procurement activity under its designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employees, and temporary health professional staffing—involve administrative health services, benefits consulting, and staffing coordination rather than vascular surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source posting systems or repurposing of the UNSPSC taxonomy for administrative health procurement that falls outside the code's nominal scope. State and local issuers applying this code span city retirement offices, state transportation departments, counties, and county health systems.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support approximately 75 annual disability determinations for public safety pension boards at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows minimal relevant recent activity for vendors focused on cardiovascular interventional devices or surgical services.
