UNSPSC 85503417: Drainage of right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 039H4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503417 Drainage of right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this taxonomy span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which match the code's nominal scope of a single vascular intervention. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code to broader health services categories where the connection to the surgical procedure named in the code is tangential at best.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: county governments (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services with a response deadline of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. The code shows recent activity across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, but the mismatch between the code's surgical specificity and the health services breadth of actual solicitations signals that this code either misclassifies routine state and local healthcare contracting or carries minimal decision value for targeting procurement opportunities in vascular surgery or related specialty interventions.
