UNSPSC 85503019: Occlusion of left external carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left external carotid artery with bioactive 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 03LN3BZ

UNSPSC 85503019 Occlusion of left external carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical taxonomy label and the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code reflect health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the specific interventional vascular procedure named in the code itself. State and local governments are purchasing administrative health services, workforce staffing, and benefits program management rather than the specialized medical device implantation the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county commissioners (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), indicating broad cross-sector use of health-adjacent services at the state and local level.

Geographic activity centers on California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County in Florida), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington (state ferries medical surveillance), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum $750,000 contract value over five years (due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026, anticipated execution April 2027); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, apparent winner announced October 20, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (contract term January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028 plus two optional one-year renewals); and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, five-year qualified list maintenance). The code exhibits significant tagging misalignment — the specific device procedure appears unrelated to actual state and local buying patterns reflected in current opportunities.
