UNSPSC 85503227: Restriction of left common carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left common carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal 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 03VJ4BZ

UNSPSC 85503227, Restriction of left common carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — left carotid artery restriction using an intraluminal bioactive device — yet the six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the procedure named in the code; the mismatch suggests either a systematic classification error in the source data or that this Commodity code is not an active procurement category for state and local jurisdictions pursuing cardiovascular interventions.

The opportunities instead reflect demand for health plan administration, occupational and disability medical services, and temporary clinical staffing — categories orthogonal to procedural cardiology or vascular intervention. Without recent solicitations that actually describe procurement of the specified carotid restriction procedure, the code does not support a reliable picture of what state and local governments buy, which jurisdictions pursue it, or where geographic activity concentrates.
