UNSPSC 85621242: Excision of bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of bilateral carotid bodies, 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 0GB83ZZ

UNSPSC 85621242 Excision of bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this tag. The source shows no solicitations for surgical procedures, medical device procurement, or clinical interventions matching the code's procedural scope. Instead, the tagged opportunities span medical administration, surveillance, staffing, and benefits management — including independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational health surveillance programs, specialty surgical care network curation, temporary health professional staffing, pharmacy benefit management, and medical services coordination in detention settings. These opportunities reflect administrative and support functions rather than the direct surgical care the code nominally describes.

The recent activity associated with this code shows issuing bodies from diverse jurisdictions: city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health-care consortiums (Collier County). No clear geographic or issuing-body concentration emerges from the sparse and administratively dispersed opportunities. A City of Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) and a Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) represent the most concrete recent activity, but neither involves the procedural intervention the UNSPSC code identifies. The code shows little relevant recent activity and warrants reassessment of its tagging accuracy in state and local procurement systems.
