This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right common carotid artery, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85503058 Extirpation of matter from right common carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The six opportunities tagged to this code in the recent window span independent disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out networks for city employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific vascular surgical procedure. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code as a catch-all for healthcare service contracting rather than to reflect the narrow clinical work the code describes.

No solicitations in the recent block actually procure the extirpation procedure itself. The mismatch between the code taxonomy and the work being bought suggests this code does not represent a distinct state and local procurement market. Firms evaluating healthcare services contracting with state and local buyers — whether medical staffing, benefits administration, occupational health surveillance, or specialty care networks — should track activity under broader healthcare-services and staffing codes rather than this Commodity-level surgical procedure designation.
