UNSPSC 85621122: Repair left carotid body, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0GQ60ZZ

UNSPSC 85621122 Repair left carotid body, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical surgical-procedure scope. The most-recent opportunities tagged 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 director services—represent broad healthcare administration, benefit management, and clinical oversight rather than specific surgical repair of the left carotid body. The code's nominal scope (a discrete surgical intervention) does not match what state and local governments are actually requesting under this classification.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a limitation in how state and local procurement systems tag complex healthcare service contracts. No issuing body has issued an RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB specifically for carotid body repair services; the opportunities cited address managed care, emergency medical direction, mental health peer support, and pharmacy administration across Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and Santa Monica (California). Unless procurement bodies are bundling surgical services into broader healthcare contracts—which the available documentation does not support—this code appears dormant for state and local procurement purposes. Business development professionals should verify whether their firm's surgical or medical device offerings align with the code's procedural definition before pursuing opportunities listed under UNSPSC 85621122.
