UNSPSC 85503322: Occlusion of right thyroid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right 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 03LU4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503322, Occlusion of right thyroid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span healthcare administration, benefits management, and occupational medicine but do not align with the specific surgical procedure named in the code itself. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification (a surgical intervention) that has been misapplied to administrative and staffing services in these solicitations, suggesting a classification error in the source data rather than genuine procurement activity under the intended commodity scope.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities represent a typical cross-section of state and local healthcare buyers: a city retirement system (City of Phoenix), a municipal employee benefits office (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Without authentic recent procurement activity matching the actual surgical procedure code, this code warrants limited pursuit focus pending clarification of the classification error in state and local procurement databases.
