UNSPSC 85503006: Occlusion of right thyroid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 03LU3CZ

UNSPSC 85503006 Occlusion of right thyroid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code name references a highly specific interventional vascular procedure, yet the opportunities currently tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve thyroid artery occlusion or related endovascular intervention. This mismatch indicates the code shows little relevant recent activity for the procedure it nominally describes.

The six opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 reflect instead a broad, unrelated procurement portfolio across state departments, counties, and municipal health systems. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical carve-out benefit program including orthopedic, spine, heart, and weight-loss procedures (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, with historical spend of approximately $8.7 million annually); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the code classification appears to be a taxonomic misassignment rather than evidence of active state and local procurement demand for thyroid artery occlusion procedures.
