UNSPSC 85502918: Restriction of left external carotid artery with extraluminal 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 extraluminal 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 03VN3CZ

UNSPSC 85502918 Restriction of left external carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations do not align with the procedure named in the code.

No state or local opportunities in the source reflect procurement of restriction-of-left-external-carotid-artery devices, procedures, or related clinical services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent buying activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code is not a practical category for state and local procurement right now. Firms pursuing procurement under this code should verify that their product or service matches issuing-body intent before investing in business development effort, as the classification system appears to be tracking administrative and staffing support contracts rather than the vascular intervention implied by the code name.
