UNSPSC 85503220: Restriction of right external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic 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 03VM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503220 (Restriction of right external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities tagged under it solicit independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical carve-out networks for employee benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve carotid artery restriction procedures. The mismatch suggests this code has been incorrectly applied to administrative and occupational health procurement rather than to actual surgical interventions, and state and local governments do not appear to be soliciting the procedure itself through formal contracting vehicles.

No targeted procurement activity exists under this code for medical device suppliers, surgical centers, or clinical providers specializing in carotid artery procedures. Business development professionals should not pursue opportunities tagged with this code; the tagging error indicates a cataloging issue rather than latent demand for the service.
