UNSPSC 85501056 Repair left vertebral artery, open approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to the state and local procurement opportunities in the source. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it encompass inmate medical and pharmacy services management, pharmacy benefit administration for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director oversight — none of which involve vertebral artery repair or surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests a classification error in the tagging of these opportunities rather than a category with active procurement demand for the coded service.

The issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include county corrections systems (Muscogee County Prison), county health benefits administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department). Geographic spread covers Georgia, Florida, and California. Recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's May 2026 RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (response date May 15, 2026), Collier County's April 2026 RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 employees and covered members (response date April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's April 2026 RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (response date April 16, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for vertebral artery repair procurement at the state and local level.
