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 03NV3ZZ

UNSPSC 85502977 Release left thyroid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent opportunities tagged under it in state and local posting systems are unrelated to surgical services: they involve inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison, pharmacy benefit management services for a county health care consortium, virtual primary and urgent care services for county employees, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations involve thyroid artery procedures or surgical interventions of any kind. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the opportunities posted under it indicates either a tagging error in the source systems or a misalignment between UNSPSC classification practice and actual procurement activity.

No relevant recent opportunities exist under this code for surgical or procedural services. A business development firm in the medical devices, surgical supplies, or healthcare services space should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing procurement activity in these categories.
