UNSPSC 85502763: Destruction of right common carotid artery, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 035H0ZZ

UNSPSC 85502763 "Destruction of right common carotid artery, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under its classification. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code in 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the surgical destruction of the right common carotid artery or any comparable vascular surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either a miscoding of opportunities in the state and local procurement database or that this code is used as a catch-all for miscellaneous health services when more precise classifications are unavailable.

Recent activity appears geographically scattered across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in any region. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal procurement (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and other local agencies. Given the absence of opportunities that substantively relate to the code's nominal scope and the diversity of health-services procurement being miscoded to this line item, this code does not represent a viable procurement category for business development purposes at this time.
