UNSPSC 85503339: Occlusion of right 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 right 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 03LM4DZ

UNSPSC 85503339 Occlusion of right external carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the actual state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities in the source are tagged to this medical procedure code but solicitate entirely different services: independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. None of these solicitations involve carotid artery procedures or related endovascular interventions. The code shows little relevant recent activity—the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought signals either a systematic data-entry error in the tagging system or that the code itself is not the appropriate classification for state and local procurement in this domain.

State and local bodies have posted independent medical evaluation RFPs (City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeking pension disability assessments through October 16, 2026), surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach through October 7, 2026), occupational health surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries, through October 9, 2026), and clinical staffing frameworks (County of Santa Clara Health System through October 7, 2026). These procurements span multiple states—Arizona, California, and Washington—and involve counties, cities, state transportation agencies, and regional health systems. However, none engage with the endovascular or interventional cardiology procedures described in the code name. Firms targeting state and local contracts under this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities, as the current tagging appears to represent a classification system issue rather than a viable commodity category for state and local government buying.
