UNSPSC 85503255: Supplement left common carotid artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left common carotid artery with autologous 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 03UJ47Z

UNSPSC 85503255 (Supplement left common carotid artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment between its nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure—and the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for PPO enrollment, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve carotid artery supplementation or the procedural category the code nominally describes.

The mismatch indicates either a data-classification error in how opportunities were tagged to this code or a structural problem with how this particular Commodity code is being applied in state and local procurement systems. The opportunities themselves are legitimate and active—spanning Arizona (Phoenix retirement boards), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County)—but they do not represent the work this code is intended to capture. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code alignment before pursuing opportunities in this listing, as the tagged code does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited.
