This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0G584ZZ

UNSPSC 85621390 Destruction of bilateral carotid bodies, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its stated medical-procedure scope. The code's nominal definition refers to a specific surgical intervention; however, the six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance services, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve destruction of carotid bodies or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code is being used as a catch-all for medical services broadly. No issued opportunities in the source material align with the procedure named in the code.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include a city retirement system (City of Phoenix), a municipal government (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). Activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Police Pension Board's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure centers of excellence and bundled payment networks (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026). Given the systematic divergence between the code label and the actual scope of work being procured, this code merits review for potential remediation in source procurement systems before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
