UNSPSC 85503376: Extirpation of matter from right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right common 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 03CH4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503376 Extirpation of matter from right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve extirpation procedures or carotid intervention. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the procurement system or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services contracting that does not correspond to the code's clinical specificity. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal HR departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (County of Santa Clara), and county purchasing offices (Collier County).

Recent opportunities are geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no apparent concentration in any single region. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at 14 ferry locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with 40 percent weight on pricing), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026, no guaranteed volume). The code shows little relevant recent activity when evaluated against its stated scope; business development professionals should verify correct code assignment with issuing bodies before pursing work under this classification.
