UNSPSC 85503080: Drainage of right external carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right external 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 039M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503080 Drainage of right external carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited by state and local governments in recent postings. The code nominally describes a specific surgical drainage procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve drainage of the external carotid artery or percutaneous vascular procedures. The disconnect suggests a classification error in the source data rather than legitimate procurement activity under this Commodity code.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county benefits consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County) — a mix of state and local administrative, human resources, public safety, and healthcare entities. Recent opportunities are concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington; most postings are dated August and September 2026, with response deadlines clustering in early to mid-October 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for ferry workers (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). This code appears to carry systematic classification issues and does not represent a coherent procurement category.
