UNSPSC 85503375 Extirpation of matter from left common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment between its abstract clinical procedure title and the actual medical and health administrative services state and local governments are soliciting. Recent opportunities tagged to this code are purchasing independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the specific vascular intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are municipal retirement boards (Phoenix), city health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and county probation departments, spanning a mix of employee health benefits administration, occupational safety compliance, and detention-facility healthcare.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluations, due October 16, 2026), California (Long Beach city surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara County Health System temporary staffing qualification vehicle, due October 7, 2026), Washington State (WSDOT ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation RFI for specialty and emergency services, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County PBM services RFP with historical annual spending near $8.7 million, original deadline April 9, 2026). The code appears to be a data quality issue rather than an active procurement category; vendors pursuing work in occupational medicine, employee health benefits administration, or public-sector healthcare staffing should monitor these jurisdictions' procurement channels directly rather than rely on this UNSPSC taxonomy entry for market signal.
