UNSPSC 85621391: Destruction of right carotid body, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0G574ZZ

UNSPSC 85621391 Destruction of right carotid body, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical intervention at all. Instead, the code appears to be applied inconsistently across procurement systems to a broad range of occupational health, medical surveillance, and health benefit administration services — a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited. The opportunities show state and local buyers engaging vendors for independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. None of these services involve the percutaneous endoscopic destruction of a carotid body. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition.

The geographic and issuing-body diversity of the mislabeled opportunities is nonetheless noteworthy: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) all posted opportunities between mid-August and mid-September 2026 under this code. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Business development professionals should treat this code as a signal of taxonomy misclassification rather than a reliable procurement category and verify actual scope of work directly from source solicitations before pursuing opportunities.
