UNSPSC 85503083: Drainage of left common carotid artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left common carotid artery with drainage device, 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 039J30Z

UNSPSC 85503083 Drainage of left common carotid artery with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure with medical device insertion, but the six recent opportunities tagged under it—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, surgical carve-out benefits, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with interventional vascular surgery or carotid drainage procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding at the posting stage or a data tagging issue within the procurement source.

The issuing bodies represented—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are pursuing general healthcare administration, occupational medicine, and staffing services rather than surgical interventions. No opportunities in the block target providers capable of performing or managing carotid artery drainage procedures. Practitioners evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and monitor for correction or reassignment of opportunities to codes more accurately reflecting healthcare benefits administration, occupational health screening, or medical staffing services.
