This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 039M4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503413 Drainage of right external carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six state and local opportunities posted under it in recent months span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, medical record summarization for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve drainage of the external carotid artery. This mismatch suggests either classification error in the sourcing system or a broad misalignment between the code's procedural scope and how purchasing jurisdictions tag their healthcare procurement.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting the fragmented nature of public-sector healthcare administration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, deadline April 9, 2026). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the West and Southeast, with Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida represented. Because the code's procedural title bears no relationship to the actual opportunities tagged beneath it, prospecting under this code is not advisable without first clarifying the classification with the issuing jurisdiction.
