UNSPSC 85503336: Occlusion of left external carotid artery with extraluminal 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 extraluminal 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 03LN4CZ

UNSPSC 85503336 "Occlusion of left external carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a highly specialized vascular surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code taxonomy span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical record summaries, surgical Center of Excellence carve-outs, emergency youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve carotid artery occlusion devices or the procedural intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously by the posting jurisdictions, or that state and local procurement systems are tagging medical services and health plan administration work without regard to clinical procedure specificity.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and departments (Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract value and an October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Activity concentrates in California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, but the procedural specificity of the code does not align with the administrative, occupational health, and staffing services the recent postings actually solicit.
