UNSPSC 85503003: Occlusion of left thyroid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left thyroid artery with extraluminal 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 03LV3CZ

UNSPSC 85503003 Occlusion of left thyroid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical intervention on the thyroid vasculature, yet the five most recent opportunities posted under this code are for inmate medical and pharmacy services at a county prison, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and a fire department medical director position — none of which involve thyroid artery occlusion or device placement. This mismatch appears to reflect a tagging or classification error in the source system rather than genuine procurement demand under the code's stated scope. The state and local jurisdictions posting these opportunities (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, San Mateo County in California, and the City of Santa Monica in California) are soliciting comprehensive healthcare administration, management, and clinical leadership services, not vascular intervention devices or procedures.

Given the absence of any recent opportunities that actually align with the code's nominal definition, the code shows no current relevant activity for business development professionals pursuing contracts in the vascular intervention or medical device space. Vendors offering thyroid artery occlusion devices or related interventional services should verify correct code assignment through the issuing jurisdictions' procurement offices rather than rely on this code as a reliable procurement indicator.
