UNSPSC 85502922: Restriction of right 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 right 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 03VM3CZ

UNSPSC 85502922 Restriction of right external carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not address vascular surgery, carotid artery restriction, or extraluminal device placement. The mismatch between the code's medical-device focus and the actual procurements (which center on administrative health services, benefit program management, and temporary clinical staffing) suggests a tagging misalignment rather than genuine demand for the procedure-specific goods or services the code describes.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The solicitation types include RFPs and RFIs with response dates ranging from September 25, 2026 through April 9, 2026 (a backward date likely indicating an already-closed procurement). No contract values or award timelines are specified for most opportunities. Given the absence of opportunities addressing the actual commodity scope of code 85502922, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and investigate whether tagging errors have displaced genuine vascular-procedure demand into another UNSPSC classification.
