UNSPSC 85503436: Dilation of left external carotid artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of left external carotid artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, 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 037N44Z

UNSPSC 85503436, "Dilation of left external carotid artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach," is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific medical procedure — an interventional vascular intervention — that state and local governments do not procure as a purchasable service or product line. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit program management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which fall within the scope of the carotid artery procedure itself. The mismatch reflects a tagging inconsistency in the source data rather than active procurement under the code's nominal scope.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal governments (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, though the opportunities are unrelated to the procedure code itself. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Firms should treat this code as inactive for procurement strategy purposes and verify the actual commodity or service classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
