UNSPSC 85503335: Occlusion of left external carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left external carotid artery with intraluminal device, 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 03LN4DZ

UNSPSC 85503335 Occlusion of left external carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that reflects a highly specific surgical intervention code within the medical and healthcare services taxonomy. However, recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the surgical procedure described in the code name. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which directly concern carotid artery occlusion procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either mis-tagging by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is being applied as a broad catchall for health and medical services procurement rather than reserved for specific endovascular procedures.

Issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with solicitations issued between late July and mid-September 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (responses due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional five-year extensions), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (responses due April 9, 2026, initial three-year term with optional renewals, historical spend approximately $8.7 million annually). Given the scope divergence between code definition and actual solicitation content, firms evaluating this code should confirm individual opportunity relevance before pursuing.
