UNSPSC 85502923: Restriction of right 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 right 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 03VM3BZ

UNSPSC 85502923 Restriction of right external carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the nominal scope—a highly specialized cardiovascular medical device procedure—and instead reflect broader medical services procurement by public agencies.

The mismatch is stark and consistent across recent solicitations. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services and disability record summarization for pension benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program managing Centers of Excellence networks; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth; Collier County requested pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these procurements involve the specific carotid artery intervention device or procedure named in the code. The tagging appears to reflect a systemic misalignment between the UNSPSC Commodity code and the actual scope of work being solicited, suggesting this code does not currently support a meaningful market signal for firms pursuing opportunities in cardiovascular device procurement at the state and local level.
