This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left common 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 03LJ4BZ

UNSPSC 85503345 Occlusion of left common carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical intervention, yet recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code bears no relationship to the code's nominal scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations involve carotid artery intervention or any procedure-specific implant. The mismatch suggests systematic miscoding rather than incidental categorization error. The issuing bodies are primarily county human resources departments, municipal benefits offices, and county health systems managing employee health plans and occupational health programs, alongside one state transportation agency and one county juvenile justice entity.

The code shows recent activity across Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Washington (statewide), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's public safety retirement system, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with cost-based evaluation weighting 40 percent on pricing and 60 percent on non-cost capability factors; and the Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). This code should be treated as miscoded or misapplied for procurement-targeting purposes.
