UNSPSC 85503264: Reposition left external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left external carotid artery, 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 03SN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503264 Reposition left external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it reflect healthcare services procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve the procedural intervention the code nominates.

State and local issuers posting under this code include county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Monroe County, Florida), county consolidated government purchasing divisions (Columbus Consolidated Government, Georgia), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department). Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California, with opportunities ranging from annual inmate medical services contracts through multi-year managed care and virtual care platforms. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual services being solicited — comprehensive healthcare administration, pharmacy management, and virtual care delivery rather than surgical repositioning — suggests either a data classification error or a systematic miscoding of health services procurement under this procedure code. No opportunities under this code reflect procurement of the surgical procedure named.
