UNSPSC 85621191: Destruction of right carotid body, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of 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 0G570ZZ

UNSPSC 85621191 Destruction of right carotid body, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical destruction of carotid bodies or related otolaryngologic procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's clinical designation and the actual procurements suggests either a data-entry error in tagging or a fundamental misalignment between the taxonomy and how state and local agencies classify medical services contracting.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the tagged records include county procurement offices (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement systems (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal health systems (Long Beach). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. The presence of multiple unrelated medical and health-services procurements under a single surgical-procedure code suggests this code may not be a productive hunting ground for vendors targeting state and local medical services contracts.
