UNSPSC 85503016: Occlusion of left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left external carotid 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 03LN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503016 Occlusion of left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this classification. Recent opportunities posted by state and local agencies using this code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefits medical evaluation, public employee health plan administration, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated medical procedure scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or a systematic classification inconsistency; the code itself does not appear to drive procurement activity in state and local markets.

State and local solicitations tagged with this code have originated from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753 for surgery and medical procedure benefits management, due October 7, 2026), Collier County Procurement Services Division (RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ RFSQHHSQHY270052 for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, Florida, California, Texas, and Washington. The diversity of issuing bodies and geographies combined with the disconnect between code name and actual procurement scope indicates this code is not a reliable category for business development targeting in state and local markets.
