UNSPSC 85503443: Dilation of right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation 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 037H4ZZ

UNSPSC 85503443 Dilation of right common carotid artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, pension board disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve carotid artery dilation. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the UNSPSC taxonomy in ways disconnected from the code's clinical meaning in healthcare settings.

The recent opportunities show activity across multiple issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension disability evaluations), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary staffing pools), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services). Geographic spread spans Arizona, Washington, California, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum contract term and an October 16, 2026 response deadline, and Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 state ferry locations with an October 9, 2026 deadline. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned to its stated scope; firms tracking this code for procurement purposes should treat it as presently inactive for state and local contracting.
