This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right 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 03HM33Z

UNSPSC 85503045 Insertion of infusion device into right external carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure — percutaneous insertion of an infusion device into the right external carotid artery — yet the recent opportunities tagged with this code do not involve this procedure or related interventional services. Instead, the opportunities span occupational health surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation coordination (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out administration (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these scopes include percutaneous carotid access procedures or infusion device insertion. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a systematic classification drift for this commodity code.

The recent opportunities show no concentration in any single issuing-body type or geography. Solicitations come from state transportation and health authorities (Washington, Santa Clara County), county health and benefits administrators (Collier County, Harris County), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), spanning Florida, California, Washington, Arizona, and Texas with no state or region showing more than one relevant opportunity. The representative work — independent medical evaluation coordination for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — reflects benefits administration and occupational health programs, not procedural interventions. Unless the issuing bodies have misapplied the code to a broader family or class code intended to cover occupational and administrative medical services, this Commodity code does not represent a meaningful procurement vehicle for vendors in the state and local market.
