UNSPSC 85503293: Replacement of right 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 right 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 03RH4JZ

UNSPSC 85503293 Replacement of right common carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the state and local contract opportunities actually posted under this classification. The recent solicitations show no procurement activity aligned with carotid artery replacement or any similar surgical procedure. Instead, the opportunities reflect a significant mismatch: they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth. None of these services involve the surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

This code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work state and local bodies are actually buying under it suggests either a classification error in the source data or a legacy code that no longer reflects procurement practice. Buyers should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any state or local medical or health services opportunities before pursuing work tagged to this code.
