This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left carotid body with drainage device, 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 0G9630Z

UNSPSC 85621263 Drainage of left carotid body with drainage device, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect carotid drainage work. Instead, state and local buyers have posted opportunities for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for health and medical services outside its stated scope.

The recent activity does span multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach is soliciting for a surgical benefit carve-out program (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Collier County is issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees (RFP 25-8414); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the work actually being bought, this code does not appear to be a reliable indicator of procurement opportunity.
