UNSPSC 85621244 Excision of left carotid body, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the actual work state and local governments are buying. Recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect surgical procedures or surgical methodology; instead, issuing bodies are procuring medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out benefits, and temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to have been misapplied across multiple recent opportunities, resulting in a body of procurement activity that bears no meaningful relationship to the code's stated definition.

The issuing bodies reflect a broad mix of state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), Harris County's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). No recent activity materially aligns with the code's stated scope; business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this Commodity code.
