UNSPSC 85503291: Replacement of left common 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 common 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 03RJ47Z

UNSPSC 85503291, Replacement of left common carotid artery with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect surgical or cardiovascular procedures matching the code's nominal scope. Instead, the sourced solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve carotid artery replacement or the specific procedural intervention the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's technical clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all for unrelated medical services. State and local buyers do procure medical services, including occupational health examinations, pharmacy administration, and temporary clinical staffing, across multiple issuing bodies (county health systems, pension boards, state departments, and juvenile probation departments) in California, Washington, Arizona, and Florida; however, these procurements are not vehicle-appropriate for firms specializing in surgical procedures or clinical outcomes related to carotid arterial repair. Absent evidence that state and local governments actually solicit replacement carotid artery services under this code, the code does not present a meaningful opportunity path for business development.
