UNSPSC 85503256: Supplement right common carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right common carotid 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 03UH4KZ

UNSPSC 85503256 Supplement right common carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specialized surgical procedure — endoscopic supplementation of the right common carotid artery using synthetic material — yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgery carve-out benefit programs, and youth detention medical services. None of these opportunities solicit the implantable device, surgical supplies, or procedural services the code nominally describes. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the posting system or the code's assignment to administrative or procurement bundles unrelated to vascular surgery itself.

The recent opportunities show activity across diverse state and local issuers—Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California)—but none represent purchases of supplemental carotid artery procedures or related surgical products. The Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) are the most recent postings under this code. Given the absence of solicitations for actual carotid artery supplementation or vascular surgical devices, firms should treat this code as offering no viable opportunities for products or services within its stated scope and verify coding accuracy before pursuing opportunities posted under UNSPSC 85503256.
