UNSPSC 85503046: Insertion of intraluminal device into left common 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 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 03HJ3DZ

UNSPSC 85503046 (Insertion of intraluminal device into left common carotid artery, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve medical evaluation services, surgical benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern percutaneous carotid artery intervention devices or procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific interventional cardiology or vascular procedure, whereas the actual solicitations under this tag focus on administrative medical services, benefits program management, and staffing.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), representing a dispersed issuing-body mix of city retirement offices, county health departments, state transportation agencies, and county procurement divisions. No clear geographic or sectoral concentration emerges from the records, and the mismatch between the code's procedural name and the benefits-and-staffing-focused solicitations suggests either misclassification of opportunities by the posting jurisdictions or a significant drift between the code's intended scope and its practical use in state and local procurement systems. Firms evaluating this code should verify with specific issuing bodies whether the tagging reflects genuine demand for the coded service or represents a systemic cataloging error.
