UNSPSC 85621231 Extirpation of matter from bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code nominal name describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, employee health plan surgical carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and specialty emergency care for detained youth — none of which involve the carotid body procedure named in the code. The mismatch reflects a broader tagging misalignment rather than genuine procurement activity under the code's stated scope.

The source provides no evidence of state and local procurement activity for the actual procedure named in UNSPSC 85621231. Issuing bodies across the sample — the Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — are buying health plan administration, occupational health surveillance, staffing, and emergency medical services, not carotid body extirpation. The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but does not represent genuine market demand under this code. No representative opportunity targets the procedure named in UNSPSC 85621231.
