UNSPSC 85503363: Insertion of infusion device into right external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into right external carotid artery, 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 03HM43Z

UNSPSC 85503363 Insertion of infusion device into right external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical taxonomy describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it reflect administrative healthcare services, benefit management, and occupational health surveillance—none involving insertion of infusion devices into carotid arteries. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local buyers for its nominal scope. No relevant procurement opportunities for the work described in the UNSPSC code name appear in the recent activity.

The six opportunities posted in the last three months—from Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State Ferries, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—cover independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing. While all involve healthcare delivery or administration, none concern the insertion of carotid infusion devices. Buyers range from city retirement boards, county human resources departments, state transportation agencies, and county health systems. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. This code shows little or no authentic recent procurement signal for the work it nominally describes.
