UNSPSC 85503048: Insertion of intraluminal device into right 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 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 03HH3DZ

UNSPSC 85503048 Insertion of intraluminal device into right common carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code describes a specific invasive medical procedure — placement of a stent or other device into the right common carotid artery via catheter — yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit that procedure or related clinical services. Instead, the four posted opportunities span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and temporary staffing qualification pools. None of these procurement activities involve carotid artery interventions or the specialized vascular surgery infrastructure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between code name and actual work being bought signals either miscoding of opportunities by the issuing bodies or that this particular Commodity code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns in the medical services space. Firms evaluating activity under this code should verify the source data for accuracy before committing business development resources; the recent solicitation record does not support pursuit based on the code's stated scope.
