UNSPSC 85503385: Excision of right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 03BH4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503385 Excision of right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six most recent opportunities tagged to it solicit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, and surgical procedure carve-out programs — none of which involve carotid artery excision. The mismatch suggests tagging error rather than active procurement under the code's intended scope. State and local sources appear to have misclassified these health services solicitations.

No relevant recent opportunities exist under this code's actual scope. The opportunities posted show that state and local buyers are actively sourcing health services administration and staffing, but these are unrelated to the surgical procedure the code describes. Interested vendors should verify classification with issuing bodies before bidding, as the code's taxonomy designation does not reflect the work being procured.
