UNSPSC 85621173: Drainage of bilateral carotid bodies, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of bilateral carotid bodies, 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 0G980ZZ

UNSPSC 85621173 Drainage of bilateral carotid bodies, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged to this code — spanning Phoenix retirement disability evaluation services, Long Beach surgical benefits administration, Washington State Ferries occupational health surveillance, Harris County juvenile detention medical services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing — bear no connection to carotid-body drainage or any surgical intervention. These solicitations address medical administration, staffing placement, benefits design, and occupational surveillance, which fall outside the procedural scope the code's name indicates. The mismatch suggests either a data-classification error in the source material or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices to tag relevant work.

No representative opportunities under this code's actual scope are present in the source. Absent evidence of genuine state and local demand for carotid-body drainage services — a highly specialized vascular surgery likely performed only in hospital operating theaters with no procurement pathway typical of state and local governments — this code does not present a viable business development target for firms serving public-sector markets.
