UNSPSC 85621357: Excision of bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0GB84ZZ

UNSPSC 85621357 Excision of bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) describes a specific surgical procedure, but state and local procurement activity under this code does not match the clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect occupational and administrative medical services — disability medical record summaries, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve carotid body excision or endoscopic procedures. The code appears to be a mislabeled assignment in state and local procurement systems; the opportunities are better classified under medical services administration or occupational health rather than surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), and county government human resources and benefits divisions (City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Geographic activity spans California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington state (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).
