UNSPSC 85502752: Dilation of right common carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right 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 037H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502752 Dilation of right common carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities associated with this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which concern vascular surgical procedures or carotid artery interventions. State and local procurement offices do not typically solicit or contract for specific surgical procedures through general purchasing channels; such services are either embedded in broader healthcare delivery contracts or managed through established medical provider networks and insurance arrangements.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunities suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code has been misapplied to medical services contracts that fall outside its intended definition. The recent activity shown involves administrative medical services, benefits management, and staffing coordination across several issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara — but none of this work involves surgical intervention on blood vessels. Firms evaluating this code for business development purposes should verify the actual UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85502752, as the current activity demonstrates no coherent procurement pattern aligned with the code's stated commodity definition.
