UNSPSC 85503028: Occlusion of right common carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 03LH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503028 (Occlusion of right common carotid artery, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local government procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code instead solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, specialty emergency medical services for youth in custody, and related administrative healthcare services. These opportunities concern healthcare program management, provider network administration, and occupational or occupational-medicine screening — not the percutaneous arterial intervention procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source material or the use of an inapplicable taxonomy designation by the issuing bodies.

The recent opportunities originate from city retirement offices (Phoenix), city health plan administrators (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county benefits consortia (Collier County), and school district or municipal employees' health and pension boards. Across six sourced opportunities posted between July and September 2026, no state or local government body solicited services matching the code's stated clinical focus — percutaneous carotid artery occlusion. Absent a correction to the taxonomy assignment or clarification from the source, this code shows no meaningful recent activity relevant to the procurement category it nominates.
