UNSPSC 85503050: Extirpation of matter from left thyroid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left thyroid 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 03CV3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503050, Extirpation of matter from left thyroid artery, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the thyroid artery, but the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 do not reflect procurement of this or closely related clinical services. Instead, the tagged opportunities span administrative medical services (disability benefit evaluations, pharmacy benefit management), occupational surveillance and employee health screening, surgical benefit program administration, emergency and inpatient care for detained youth, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing—none of which fall within the scope of extirpation procedures or vascular intervention. This indicates either a miscoding of opportunities by the issuing bodies or limited relevance of the code to active state and local contracting in this domain.

The issuing bodies across the sample include county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges from the opportunities posted. Given the disconnect between the code's clinical specificity and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited, this code shows minimal direct relevance to current state and local procurement activity.
