UNSPSC 85621243: Excision of right carotid body, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right 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 0GB73ZZ

UNSPSC 85621243 "Excision of right carotid body, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under this taxonomy entry. The code appears to be a clinical procedure code from a healthcare classification system (likely CPT or ICD-10) rather than a procurement taxonomy. Recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical care networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve the specific surgical procedure named in the code. State and local buyers are using this code to tag general healthcare procurement activity rather than procurement of a defined surgical service or product line.

The issuing bodies in recent opportunities include city retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal health departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), and county commissioners (Collier County), reflecting broad public-sector healthcare administration and occupational health functions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years) focused on disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, cost-weighted evaluation); the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified-vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, approximately $8.7 million annual historical spend). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows little relevant procurement activity for the named surgical procedure and signals potential taxonomy misapplication by posting agencies.
