UNSPSC 85503229: Restriction of right common carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right common carotid artery with 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 03VH4DZ

UNSPSC 85503229 Restriction of right common carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific vascular intervention procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of this Commodity code as a catch-all classification for medical services procurement where the granular clinical procedure code does not align with the actual work being bought.

State and local governments are actively procuring medical services and health program administration under various codes and descriptions, but not the restrictive carotid artery procedure specified in 85503229. Buyers include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and regional health authorities (Santa Clara County). Recent solicitations are distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity spanning benefit plan administration, occupational health, emergency care, and staffing. Firms evaluating this code should confirm with procurement offices whether the carotid artery procedure code is intentional or reflects upstream taxonomy misalignment before committing business development resources.
