UNSPSC 85503319: Occlusion of left thyroid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left thyroid 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 03LV4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503319 Occlusion of left thyroid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities reflect broad healthcare administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing services—not thyroid artery procedures or the specialized interventional radiology work the code name suggests. State and local procurement data shows no recent opportunities genuinely seeking thyroid artery occlusion services or related vascular interventions.

The mismatch indicates either a coding error in the source data or systematic miscoding of medical services under this Commodity code. Issuers posting these opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, via Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and health systems. Without genuine opportunities under the stated code scope, this Commodity does not represent an actionable procurement category for business development targeting state and local contracts. Practitioners should verify coding assignments before pursuing work in this space.
