UNSPSC 85503340 Occlusion of right external carotid artery with extraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific interventional medical procedure. Recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of the procedure itself; instead, they capture a range of health services procurement activity including independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The code's nominal scope—a vascular interventional procedure—does not align with the actual buying patterns reflected in the recent opportunities. State and local governments procuring under this code are predominantly purchasing administrative healthcare services, benefit management, and staffing support rather than the specific medical procedure the code describes. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health benefit programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources and health consortiums (Collier County, County of Santa Clara), and regional health systems.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (ferries system), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and psychiatric examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual applications with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, response due October 7, 2026) managing Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures across approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations statewide. The code shows substantial recent activity, though the opportunities demonstrate a significant taxonomic mismatch between the code's clinical procedure focus and the administrative and occupational health services actually being procured.
