UNSPSC 85503004: Occlusion of right thyroid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 03LU3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503004 Occlusion of right thyroid artery, percutaneous approach (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records with minimal relevance to the code's nominal clinical scope. Recent solicitations tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which directly align with a specific interventional procedure on a thyroid artery. The code's assignment to these opportunities suggests a taxonomic mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity under the commodity's intended definition. State and local issuing bodies — including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation authorities — are soliciting healthcare administration, staffing, and benefits management services rather than procedural or clinical supply procurement.

The geographic distribution spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering shipyard workers and ferry crew across 14 statewide locations, and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) managing approximately 2,400 enrolled employees. The code shows no recent activity that meaningfully tracks to thyroid artery occlusion procurement; it warrants deprioritization pending corrected code assignment.
