UNSPSC 85621358: Excision of right carotid body, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of right carotid body, 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 0GB74ZZ

UNSPSC 85621358 Excision of right carotid body, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure—does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs—none of which involve carotid body excision or the procedure-specific clinical pathway the code describes.

The mismatch reflects a data-tagging error rather than a viable procurement category. State and local issuing bodies—including the Washington State Department of Transportation, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Long Beach, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—are procuring administrative and operational healthcare services, not the specific surgical intervention the code nominally addresses. The code shows no relevant recent activity for business development purposes.
