UNSPSC 85503116: Dilation of left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left 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 037N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503116 Dilation of left external carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific interventional vascular medical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical centers of excellence, pharmacy benefit management, juvenile detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve carotid artery dilation. The mismatch suggests either miscategorization at the source or that this code does not capture state and local government buying of the procedure itself in a way that generates public contract records.

The geographic and issuing-body data from the recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California), spanning RFPs and RFQs across regions. The due dates cluster in October 2026 (October 7 through October 16 responses). Given the absence of solicitations actually procuring the carotid dilation procedure named in the code, vendors should treat this code as inactive for current state and local opportunities and verify categorization with procurement offices before pursuing work under it.
