UNSPSC 85503445: Dilation of right common 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 right common 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 037H44Z

UNSPSC 85503445, Dilation of right common carotid artery with drug-eluting intraluminal device, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that carries a medical procedure classification but does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code number. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit administration, and emergency medical services for youth detention—none of which are vascular surgical procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and state and local procurement activity. Work being solicited includes medical record review and disability benefit determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), occupational medicine examinations for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), pharmacy claims processing and formulary management (Collier County), temporary staffing across ancillary clinical roles (Santa Clara County Health System), surgical procedure carve-outs and Centers of Excellence networks (City of Long Beach), and emergency inpatient care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Issuing bodies are predominantly county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county human resources functions; no school districts or transit authorities appear in the recent activity.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services covering approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a maximum contract compensation of $750,000 over five years and an October 16, 2026 proposal deadline. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations statewide with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services supporting 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code exhibits little relevant recent activity and appears to be systematically misapplied by issuing bodies to procurement outside its intended clinical taxonomy.
