UNSPSC 85501056 Repair left vertebral artery, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — surgical repair of a specific arterial defect — does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are administrative and occupational health services, not surgical procedures: disability medical record review and independent medical examinations for pension boards, Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefit administration for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing pools. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or a data artifact rather than active market demand for open vertebral artery repair contracting at the state and local level.

The five opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. These are jurisdictions in Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. A single concrete example with defined scope and timeline: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 on September 16, 2026 requesting independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability benefit applications, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000. No recent activity supports procurement of vertebral artery surgical repair at the state or local level under this code.
