UNSPSC 85502917: Restriction of left external carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left external carotid artery with intraluminal device, 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 03VN3DZ

UNSPSC 85502917 Restriction of left external carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific interventional cardiology/vascular procedure — does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under this tag. The recent solicitations placed under the code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services involve carotid artery restriction procedures or the clinical intervention the code describes. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local procurement system or a misapplication of the code during opportunity posting.

The state and local issuing bodies tagging opportunities under this code span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county purchasing consortiums. The geographic spread across this small opportunity set includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida, with no jurisdictional concentration evident. The representative recent solicitations — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFSQ (due October 7, 2026) — reflect healthcare administration and clinical staffing work rather than procedural intervention services. Vendors pursuing this code should verify classification accuracy with the issuing body before investing in pursuit, as the code's procedural scope does not map to the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag.
