UNSPSC 85621346: Extirpation of matter from bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0GC84ZZ

UNSPSC 85621346 Extirpation of matter from bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code designation appears clinical and procedural in nature, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to it do not involve carotid body procedures or related surgical interventions. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad health benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing — activities misaligned with the code's stated clinical definition. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at source or a systematic tagging error across the opportunity set.

The six recent opportunities — spanning the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's specialty and emergency medical services RFI (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 258414), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — originate across county health systems, state transportation departments, and municipal retirement offices in Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. None of these opportunities involves the surgical procedure named in the code. Given the structural mismatch between the code name and the actual work solicited, this code does not appear to be a reliable signal for pursuing state and local opportunities.
