UNSPSC 85501024 Supplement right vertebral artery with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code span occupational health medical examinations, pharmacy benefit management services, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or implants. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or a data artifact; the code's nominal scope (vascular surgery with tissue substitutes) does not align with the behavioral services, staffing, and medical administration work appearing in the opportunity records.

State and local issuing bodies posting against this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county human resources and benefits functions (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Long Beach), county detention agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of pension boards), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and independent school or municipal health consortia. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Puget Sound ferry locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (RFP, due October 7, 2026). The code shows recent and active procurement volume but does not reflect the stated commodity definition.
