UNSPSC 85503285: Replacement of left external carotid artery with autologous tissue 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 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 03RN47Z

UNSPSC 85503285 Replacement of left external carotid artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal alignment between the code's nominal medical procedure scope and actual buying activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect instead a broad constellation of health services procurement — occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — rather than the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). None of the recent solicitations target the carotid artery procedure itself.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, though the code shows no evidence of concentrated activity in any single state. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with a two-year initial term and optional extensions; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit Center of Excellence carve-outs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) with no guaranteed work volume. The code assignment appears to be a tagging anomaly rather than a reliable signal for procurement under this specific UNSPSC category.
