UNSPSC 85503317: Release left common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release left common carotid artery, 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 03NJ4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503317 Release left common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under it span inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve the endoscopic carotid artery procedure named in the code. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with an incorrect UNSPSC classification.

The five most recent opportunities show no pattern related to the code's nominal scope. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) posted an RFP on April 15, 2026 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison; Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP on April 9, 2026 for pharmacy benefit management services covering employees and dependents; Monroe County (Florida) posted an RFP on March 14, 2026 for virtual primary and urgent care services; San Mateo County (California) posted an RFP on February 25, 2026 for peer support services for mental health workers; and Santa Monica Fire Department (California) posted an RFP on February 25, 2026 for a medical director for emergency medical services. These solicitations reflect healthcare administration, care coordination, and medical management—not surgical procedures. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local opportunities in the endoscopic or cardiothoracic surgery space.
