UNSPSC 85503444: Dilation of right common carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to dilation of right common carotid artery with 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 037H4DZ

UNSPSC 85503444 Dilation of right common carotid artery with intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific interventional cardiology procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of that service. Instead, the code shows little relevant activity aligned with its title; the recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which correspond to percutaneous endoscopic carotid dilation procedures. This apparent mismatch suggests either classification error in the opportunities' tagging or that the code is being used outside its intended scope by issuing bodies.

The scattered opportunities do show activity across multiple state and local jurisdictions including Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County (Texas), Santa Clara County (California), and Collier County (Florida), though the geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect general public sector healthcare procurement rather than procurement aligned with the code's stated procedure. No representative opportunity clearly demonstrates procurement activity under the code as defined. Business development professionals should verify the accuracy of the UNSPSC coding with prospective customers before committing resources to this category, as the current tagging does not support reliable market signal or forecasting.
