UNSPSC 85503051: Extirpation of matter from right thyroid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right 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 03CU3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503051 Extirpation of matter from right thyroid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the available recent opportunities. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on the thyroid artery—does not match the medical and health services being solicited by state and local buyers. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services directly correspond to the thyroid artery procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and regional health systems—Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System—but the diversity of their solicitations reflects a tagging mismatch rather than a coherent commodity family.

Activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington over recent months (July–September 2026), but the geographic and service diversity underscores that this code is not driving procurement for a defined product or service line. The City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) are the most substantial recent opportunities, but neither involves thyroid procedures. The code shows no coherent recent activity and should not be relied upon for market sizing or bid strategy in any of the service areas currently tagged to it.
