UNSPSC 85503122: Dilation of left common carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left common 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 037J3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503122 Dilation of left common carotid artery, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code classify medical services that diverge sharply from percutaneous vascular intervention—they span independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these services involve or require the diagnostic or interventional vascular procedure the code names.

The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual solicitations suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local systems or reflects metadata inconsistency in the underlying procurement database. Buyers posting disability evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001), surgical benefits programs (City of Long Beach RFP HR26753), occupational health screening (Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825), and general health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQHHSFY270052) are addressing administrative and preventive health functions, not percutaneous carotid intervention. Absent opportunities that actually solicit carotid dilation services or related interventional cardiology or vascular surgery work under this code, the Commodity shows insufficient purchasing signal to warrant active pursuit at this time.
