This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right common carotid artery with nonautologous 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 03RH4KZ

UNSPSC 85503292 Replacement of right common carotid artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure performed on a patient; the recent opportunities tagged under this code instead solicit occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of carotid artery replacement surgery. State and local governments do not procure individual surgical procedures as a line item or contract commodity; they contract for health insurance, employee health benefits management, occupational health programs, medical provider networks, and clinical staffing services.

The mismatch between the code and the actual opportunities in the source suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement database or an unusually broad interpretation of the code's applicability that does not reflect actual purchasing patterns. The opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Washington (Ferries), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, county probation departments, and state transportation agencies. None of these opportunities involves procurement of surgical services, procedure pricing, or vendor selection based on surgical capability or technique. Firms pursuing state and local health-care-related opportunities should rely on the substance of the actual solicitation language and the customer's defined scope of work rather than the UNSPSC code alone.
