This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of left 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 035J0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502762 Destruction of left common carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or near this code—spanning August–September 2026—cover independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve destruction of the left common carotid artery or any surgical intervention at that anatomical site. The code appears to be a clinical procedure descriptor from a medical taxonomy that state and local procurement systems have inadvertently or incorrectly applied to general healthcare contracting, creating a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought.

State and local governments do actively procure health services, benefits administration, and staffing across multiple issuing bodies—county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation agencies, county purchasing offices, and county health care consortiums. However, no recent activity specifically targets destruction of the left common carotid artery or surgical interventions of any kind. Buyers in this space are focused on occupational health screening, disability medical review, surgical benefit networks, pharmacy management, and clinical staffing pools. Unless this code is being used to tag a medical services category or claims management function that the source does not reflect, the code does not represent an active procurement opportunity for business development purposes.
