UNSPSC 85503042: Insertion of intraluminal device into left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of intraluminal device into 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 03HN3DZ

UNSPSC 85503042 — Insertion of intraluminal device into left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach — is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific medical procedure (intraluminal device insertion into the left external carotid artery performed percutaneously), but the six recent opportunities tagged to this code procure health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluation services, and specialty surgical networks — none of which involve intraluminal device insertion or the procedural scope the code nominates.

The geographic spread of the misaligned opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no meaningful concentration. State and local buyers are issuing these opportunities through municipal retirement offices, county health systems, county procurement divisions, and state transportation authorities. Without opportunities actually soliciting intraluminal device procurement or placement services under this code, the code shows no actionable activity for vendors in the device or procedure domain.
