UNSPSC 85502919: Restriction of left external carotid artery with bioactive 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 bioactive 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 03VN3BZ

UNSPSC 85502919 Restriction of left external carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve carotid artery intervention devices or the procedure itself. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error in the underlying procurement system or a broader miscategorization. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code for general healthcare services contracting rather than for the specific implantable device or procedure it nominally describes.

The geographic spread of the six opportunities spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no dominant concentration in any single region. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations with occupational-medicine board certification required; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability pension determinations with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract value; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool solicitation (due October 7, 2026) for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 service categories. None of these opportunities involve procurement of the carotid artery device or procedure named in the code.
