UNSPSC 85503232: Supplement left thyroid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left thyroid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 03UV4KZ

UNSPSC 85503232 Supplement left thyroid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure—supplementing the left thyroid artery with nonautologous tissue via percutaneous endoscopic approach—a highly specialized vascular intervention that would be procured, if at all, by a hospital system or health authority as a component of surgical or interventional services, not as a standalone line item in state and local RFPs. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect healthcare service procurement by county and municipal health authorities, but none of the solicitations involve thyroid artery supplementation, surgical implants, or procedural supplies. Instead, the opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary care services, peer support mental health services, and fire department medical direction—all administrative or primary-care service contracts rather than specialized surgical interventions.

State and local health authorities and county commissions posting under this code include Muscogee County (Georgia) Prison, Collier County (Florida) Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County (Florida) Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County (California) Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California). The geographic spread covers Florida, Georgia, and California, with no discernible concentration. The posted opportunities—Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for peer workers (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a fire department medical director (due October 16, 2025)—bear no substantive relationship to the code's nominal scope. The code appears to be a miscategorization in the state and local procurement taxonomy and does not represent an active procurement market worth pursuing under this UNSPSC designation.
