UNSPSC 85503002: Occlusion of left thyroid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left thyroid artery with intraluminal device, 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 03LV3DZ

UNSPSC 85503002 Occlusion of left thyroid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe a specific endovascular surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of this service. The posted solicitations include disability medical evaluations for public safety retirees, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of thyroid artery occlusion procedures. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the code is being used as a catchall for medical services procurement unrelated to its defined procedure. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent activity when evaluated against its stated clinical scope.

Given the absence of solicitations actually seeking thyroid artery occlusion procedures or related endovascular interventional services, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local opportunity pursuit and flag the tagging discrepancy for clarification with procurement offices before investing time in market research or capability positioning.
