UNSPSC 85502916: Restriction of left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left external carotid artery, percutaneous 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 03VN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85502916 Restriction of left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving restriction of the left external carotid artery—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it. The six posted solicitations on file reflect instead general health professional services procurement: independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits for government employees, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these opportunities involve carotid artery restriction procedures or related surgical interventions. This disconnect indicates either misclassification at the issuing-body level or that the code is not an active procurement vehicle for state and local governments pursuing this specific clinical service line.

State and local buyers—including the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—are using this code to flag administrative health services, benefit management, and staffing procurement rather than specialized surgical procedures. If your firm provides carotid artery restriction services or related vascular surgical interventions, this code is not currently generating opportunities in the state and local market and should not be a focus area.
