UNSPSC 85491768 Extirpation of matter from coronary artery, three sites, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged under this code do not involve coronary interventions or cardiology procedures at all. Instead, the opportunities reflect administrative health services, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, and general staffing — none of which align with the code's stated clinical scope. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, county commissioners' offices, and municipal retirement boards. The work actually being solicited comprises independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, surgical carve-out benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing pools.

Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit applications for police and fire pension boards (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals statewide (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid scheduled August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and specialty procedure carve-out networks for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services serving approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026, historical annual pharmacy spend approximately $8.7 million). The code appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling rather than an active procurement category for the procedure it nominally describes.
