UNSPSC 85503373: Extirpation of matter from left external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 03CN4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503373 Extirpation of matter from left external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows no alignment with its clinical procedural scope. The posted opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare delivery for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific vascular surgical intervention named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or the code's limited relevance to actual state and local purchasing patterns; the code shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal definition.

The opportunities that do appear were issued by diverse state and local bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the geographic spread and the diversity of procuring entities offer limited signal for targeting this code specifically. Business development professionals should verify actual scope alignment before pursuing opportunities labeled under this code.
