UNSPSC 85502968: Repair left thyroid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left 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 03QV3ZZ

UNSPSC 85502968 Repair left thyroid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity that aligns with its clinical scope. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous repair of the left thyroid artery — yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve thyroid artery repair or match the procedural specificity the code name implies. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or that this Commodity code is used inconsistently by state and local procurement offices, if used at all for healthcare service procurement. Absent opportunities that actually procure thyroid artery repair procedures or related vascular interventions, the code shows no clear market signal for business development targeting.

The five posted opportunities span Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), and cover employment-based employee health plans, county jail inmate care, virtual care platforms, mental health peer support, and fire department medical direction. Issuing bodies include county governments, county health agencies, and municipal fire departments. None of these represent procurement aligned with the code's stated scope, and the geographic spread and issuing-body diversity reflect general healthcare service purchasing across multiple states rather than activity specific to the vascular procedure the Commodity code names.
