UNSPSC 85503125: Dilation of right common carotid artery, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right 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 037H3ZZ

UNSPSC 85503125 Dilation of right common carotid artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific interventional vascular procedure; however, state and local government solicitations tagged under this code do not align with the clinical procedure name. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect procurement of occupational health services, disability medical evaluation and administrative support, pharmacy benefit management, surgical network carve-outs, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which represent dilation procedures or interventional cardiology. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal code scope and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is not actively used for state and local government contracting in the medical services category.

Among the six recent opportunities posted under this code, issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), and the city of Long Beach. Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Puget Sound locations, due October 9, 2026; and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, due April 9, 2026 with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. Given the persistent misalignment between code definition and active procurement, business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities in this category.
