UNSPSC 85502960: Reposition right thyroid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right thyroid 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 03SU3ZZ

UNSPSC 85502960 Reposition right thyroid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical or procedural medical work — instead, they center on healthcare administration, management services, and primary care delivery, signaling a substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and current procurement activity. The recent opportunities include inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county correctional facility, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care for county health plan members, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and medical direction for a fire department's EMS program. These solicitations span health care service contracting rather than surgical intervention, and they originate from county boards of commissioners, county health agencies, and municipal fire departments. The absence of any recent opportunities actually aligned with thyroid artery repositioning work—a highly specialized surgical procedure—indicates that this code either has been misapplied by state and local procurement offices or sees negligible genuine demand in the state and local market.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia based on the Collier County, Monroe County, and Muscogee County opportunities, with additional regional presence in California (San Mateo County) and California (Santa Monica), yet none of these opportunities relate to the surgical scope the code nominally describes. The Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for Muscogee County Prison inmate medical services (due May 15, 2026) and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026) represent the most recent postings and largest scope of work, but both concern healthcare administration and pharmacy services rather than surgical procedures. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated purpose; procurement professionals should verify whether these opportunities have been miscoded or confirm whether there is genuine state and local demand for thyroid artery repositioning services before allocating resources to pursue contracts under this classification.
