UNSPSC 85503349: Occlusion of right common 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 right 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 03LH4BZ

UNSPSC 85503349 Occlusion of right common carotid artery with bioactive intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a highly specific cardiovascular surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitation record shows no bids for implantable medical devices, surgical procedure kits, or related cardiovascular interventions. Instead, state and local issuers have posted opportunities for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services within youth detention — none of which involve the procurement or implantation of bioactive intraluminal carotid devices.

The mismatch between the code's procedural focus and the actual buying activity suggests either a data-tagging error or that this code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns. The source contains no evidence of state or local procurement volume, issuing-body breadth, or geographic concentration under UNSPSC 85503349. Vendors pursuing state and local government work in cardiovascular or vascular interventions should verify code applicability through issuing-body procurement portals and recent RFP attachments before relying on this classification for opportunity identification.
