UNSPSC 85503290: Replacement of left common 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 common 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 03RJ4JZ

UNSPSC 85503290 Replacement of left common carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears little connection to the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The recent solicitations include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involves the procurement or delivery of carotid artery replacement procedures. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical definition.

State and local governments are not using this code to buy or contract for carotid artery replacements or related vascular surgical services. The tagging appears to reflect a misclassification or system error rather than actual procurement intent under the code's scope. Firms pursuing opportunities in medical services, occupational health, pharmacy benefits, or clinical staffing should rely on other UNSPSC families and commodity codes that reflect the actual work being solicited—not this code.
