UNSPSC 85503023: Occlusion of right 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 right 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 03LM3BZ

UNSPSC 85503023 Occlusion of right external carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical device scope. The six opportunities posted in the most-recent block span independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System) — none of which involve procurement or contracting for the specific carotid artery occlusion device or related interventional procedure supplies that the code nominally describes. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact; state and local procurement offices do not typically post RFPs or RFQs for individual medical device implants or procedure-specific supplies under this taxonomy.

The opportunities that do appear under this code reflect broader health services procurement by counties, municipalities, and regional health systems rather than device or medical supply sourcing. Activity is concentrated in California (Long Beach, Santa Clara, Collier County), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington state (WSDOT on behalf of ferries operations), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices, county health systems, county human resources departments, and state transportation authorities. Without substantive recent opportunities genuinely matching the code's device scope, the code does not present a current pursuit opportunity for firms selling medical devices or interventional procedure supplies to state and local buyers.
