UNSPSC 85502964: Reposition left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left external 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 03SN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85502964 Reposition left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not involve surgical services or medical procedures of this type. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code span correctional-facility healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve vascular surgery or arterial repositioning. The code shows a significant classification mismatch between its formal definition and the actual work state and local buyers are sourcing under it.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services via Columbus Consolidated Government, posted April 15, 2026 with a May 15 response deadline), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management services, posted April 9, 2026; and Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care services, posted March 14, 2026 with an April 16 deadline), California (San Mateo County peer support services pilot, posted February 25, 2026 with a July 2, 2025 deadline; and Santa Monica Fire Department medical director services, posted February 25, 2026 with an October 16, 2025 deadline). The code does not appear to be used for its nominal surgical scope in current state and local procurement.
