UNSPSC 85503120: Dilation of right external carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right external carotid artery with intraluminal 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 037M3DZ

UNSPSC 85503120 Dilation of right external carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — catheter-based vascular intervention — yet the recent solicitations tagged with this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities involve health administration, care coordination, and clinical staffing rather than interventional cardiology or vascular procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data or classification error in the source material.

The recent opportunities do show activity across multiple state and local issuing bodies — Arizona pension boards, California municipal governments, Washington state agencies, Texas counties, and Florida counties — with contract values ranging from approximately $750,000 over five years (Phoenix medical evaluations) to $8.7 million annually (Collier County pharmacy services). However, because none of these opportunities are substantively related to the code's nominal scope of carotid artery dilation procedures, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing interventional vascular work at the state and local level.
