UNSPSC 85503337: Occlusion of left external carotid artery with bioactive 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 bioactive 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 03LN4BZ

UNSPSC 85503337 Occlusion of left external carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's clinical descriptor — a specific vascular surgical procedure — does not align with any of the six recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC classification. Those solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve carotid artery intervention or bioactive intraluminal devices. The mismatch suggests a cataloging error in the source data rather than legitimate procurement activity under the code's nominal scope.

No recent state and local contract opportunities for the clinical procedure itself appear in the dataset. The code shows little relevant activity; the tagged opportunities reflect either misclassification or data-quality issues in the underlying procurement notices. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual UNSPSC classifications before pursuing these opportunities, as the code name does not describe the work being solicited.
