UNSPSC 85503222: Restriction of right external carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right external carotid artery with extraluminal device, 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 03VM4CZ

UNSPSC 85503222 Restriction of right external carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's formal title describes a specific minimally invasive vascular surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to it do not solicit carotid artery interventions or related medical devices. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code request occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, emergency and inpatient hospital services for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which align with the code's stated procedure. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or the tagging reflects administrative classification rather than procurement substance.

The geographic span of the tagged opportunities covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington State, with issuing bodies including city pension boards, county commissioners, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments. However, because none of these opportunities actually solicit the carotid restriction procedure or related vascular devices, this code does not represent a viable market segment for vendors offering extraluminal carotid devices or percutaneous endoscopic vascular interventions. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and investigate whether a lower-level or differently coded taxonomy better captures state and local buying in interventional vascular surgery or medical device procurement.
