UNSPSC 85621121: Repair right 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 0GQ70ZZ

UNSPSC 85621121 Repair right carotid body, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—do not involve surgical repair of the carotid body. These solicitations reflect administrative healthcare contracting, benefit management, and clinical oversight roles that fall outside the scope of surgical procedures. The code appears to be a medical taxonomy entry misapplied to health services contracting, creating a mismatch between the UNSPSC category name and what state and local governments are actually buying.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; and Santa Mateo County, California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department, California), with no evidence of surgical services procurement. Geographic activity spans Florida, California, and Georgia based on the recent opportunities shown. No additional decision-relevant activity supports pursuing this code as a surgical services category; prospective vendors should recognize that the code does not reliably identify surgical procurement in state and local markets.
