UNSPSC 85502927: Restriction of left common 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 common 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 03VJ3BZ

UNSPSC 85502927 Restriction of left common carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific vascular surgical intervention; however, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to the code's nominal clinical scope. The three recent solicitations posted under this code—from Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State Ferries, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—are requesting independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involves procurement of carotid artery restriction devices or the clinical procedures the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris, Collier), municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), and city employee benefit programs (Long Beach), with geographic activity distributed across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida.

The code appears to show a classification mismatch rather than active procurement of carotid intervention devices at the state and local level. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 (covering four occupational cohorts across 14 Washington State Ferries locations); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026 (establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical service categories). None of these solicitations involves the procurement or specification of implantable vascular devices. Bidders pursuing work under this code should verify that individual opportunities have been correctly coded or seek clarification with the issuing body before committing bid resources.
