UNSPSC 85503284: Replacement of left external carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left external carotid artery with synthetic 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 03RN4JZ

UNSPSC 85503284 Replacement of left external carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The source does not support state or local procurement opportunities for vascular surgical procedures coded to this specific UNSPSC. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are instead medical evaluation services, health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with procedural vascular surgery. This appears to be a tagging or classification mismatch rather than evidence of active state and local procurement in endovascular carotid artery replacement.

The opportunities identified do reflect broader medical and health services contracting across city retirement offices, municipal employee health plans, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice, county commissioners, and regional health systems in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — but they do not represent purchasing under the stated UNSPSC code's actual scope. Business development professionals should verify whether this code is accurately assigned before treating it as an active procurement target.
