UNSPSC 85621233: Extirpation of matter from left carotid body, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left carotid body, percutaneous 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 0GC63ZZ

UNSPSC 85621233, Extirpation of matter from left carotid body, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on the carotid body; the actual solicitations posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve carotid body procedures. This mismatch suggests the code is either misconfigured in the solicitation system or used as a catch-all for health services procurement where a more precise classification is unavailable.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged under this code include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and city governments (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for a qualified vendor pool in temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the absence of genuine carotid body procedure solicitations, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in surgical or interventional services aligned with the nominal code scope.
