UNSPSC 85503228: Restriction of right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right common 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 03VH4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503228 Restriction of right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal descriptor does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the specific procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments. This mismatch suggests either a data error in the coding assignment or a labeling artifact that does not reflect genuine procurement interest in the procedure itself.

Recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Washington State, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations, with a five-year term and maximum compensation of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, with a two-year initial term and cost-based evaluation. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical benefit carve-out networks managing procedures in orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology specialties for approximately 3,800 plan members. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited a qualified vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories on a non-exclusive basis with no guaranteed volume. Given the substantial disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured, pursue with caution and verify coding assignment with issuing bodies before bid planning.
