UNSPSC 85502951: Supplement right external carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right 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 03UM3JZ

UNSPSC 85502951, Supplement right external carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the external carotid artery, but the six recent opportunities posted to state and local contract databases — spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — contain no procurement of this procedure or related vascular surgical implant supplies. The mismatch suggests either misclassification of those opportunities at time of posting or limited state and local demand for this particular procedure as a discrete procurement line item.

State and local health systems, counties, and municipalities do procure medical devices, surgical supplies, and procedure-related services through various channels — direct equipment purchases, vendor networks embedded in larger managed care contracts, and health professional staffing arrangements — but those acquisitions are not appearing under this code in current activity. Buyers interested in vascular surgical implants and related supplies should monitor broader medical device and surgical supply categories or consult directly with state procurement offices and health authority purchasing departments to identify active solicitation vehicles in this specialty area.
