UNSPSC 85621109: Resection of left carotid body, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left carotid body, open 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 0GT60ZZ

UNSPSC 85621109 Resection of left carotid body, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code solicit occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which constitute surgical resection of a carotid body. This mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the state and local procurement systems or a misapplication of the code to health-services procurement more broadly. The actual work being solicited reflects administrative and clinical support services across multiple health domains rather than a single procedural intervention.

Recent opportunities are issued by diverse state and local bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summarization and examination scheduling; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 state ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) covering 13 ancillary clinical categories. Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West Coast, with Texas also represented. The code shows low relevance to the actual procurement landscape and merits close verification against authoritative UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
