UNSPSC 85501046 "Replacement of right vertebral artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code are administrative medical and healthcare services — independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care networks, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve surgical vascular replacement procedures. The code's nominal taxonomy appears misaligned with the work state and local governments are actually buying, and represents a tagging error rather than a coherent procurement category under this Commodity designation.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 deadline and $750,000 maximum compensation over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with an October 9, 2026 deadline and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated surgical scope.
