This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left external carotid artery with synthetic substitute, 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 03UN3JZ

UNSPSC 85502948 Supplement left external carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no alignment with vascular surgery or medical device supply. The code sees no activity that matches its scope — the six posted solicitations involve independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve external carotid artery supplementation or synthetic vascular substitutes. The mismatch signals either a data classification error in the state and local procurement system or a systematic mis-tagging issue at the source level.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and pension boards (Phoenix Retirement Office, Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County, Santa Clara Health System), and cities (Long Beach). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The most concrete recent opportunities are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (responses due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (responses due October 7, 2026). Given the code's stated scope bears no meaningful connection to the actual work being solicited, pursue opportunities only after independent verification that the UNSPSC classification is correct for your specific target jurisdiction.
