UNSPSC 85503024: Occlusion of left common carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left common 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 03LJ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503024 Occlusion of left common carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that carries a medical-procedure taxonomy label disconnected from the actual state and local procurement activity the code has attracted. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not solicit carotid artery procedures or any related vascular interventions; instead, they range across independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical centers of excellence carve-outs, and youth detention medical services. The code's nominal scope and the work actually being procured show no meaningful alignment. State and local issuers posting under this code include county human resources and procurement offices, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation authorities, county health systems, and health care purchasing consortia. The issuing bodies span municipal, county, and state levels without an apparent pattern of repeat procurement under this specific code classification.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, Washington State, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals and shipyard facilities (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members (effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028 with two optional one-year renewals), the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including diagnostic imaging, therapy services, and surgical support (due October 7, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees (targeting contract execution by April 1, 2027). The code appears to function as a catch-all classification for diverse medical and health services procurement rather than as a targeted identifier for a specific procedural intervention.
