UNSPSC 85502928: Restriction of right common carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right common carotid artery, 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 03VH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85502928 Restriction of right common carotid artery, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this code classify as general medical services procurement — pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluation, specialty surgery networks, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with the carotid artery procedure the code names.

The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged to UNSPSC or that the code is routinely applied to general medical services contracting outside its stated commodity scope. Absent clear evidence of recent procurement specifically for carotid artery restriction procedures or related surgical intervention services, the code presents minimal signal for vendors specializing in that procedure line. Business development professionals should flag this classification inconsistency with state and local procurement offices before investing pursuit effort, or consider whether the opportunities listed — such as the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) or Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) — represent the actual buying pattern under this code despite the nominal procedure description.
