UNSPSC 85503230: Restriction of right common 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 common 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 03VH4CZ

UNSPSC 85503230 Restriction of right common carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific vascular surgical procedure, yet the most recent state and local opportunities tagged under it are solicitations for independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the carotid artery procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing authority level or that the procurement platforms are applying the code to a broad family of health-service contracting that diverges sharply from the procedure-specific commodity definition.

The six opportunities in the block span multiple jurisdictions and issuing body types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out for employee health plans), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Given the procedural specificity of the code name and the absence of any recent state or local solicitations explicitly requesting the named vascular intervention or related interventional cardiology services, vendors should treat this code as misaligned with actual procurement activity and seek opportunities under higher-tier health services codes or family-level codes that better reflect the work state and local bodies are actually buying.
