UNSPSC 85501105 "Insertion of stimulator lead into left internal carotid artery, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve insertion of neurostimulator leads or any surgical procedure. The code's nominal scope is a specific surgical intervention, yet the opportunities reflect broad administrative and clinical staffing services procurement typical of state departments, county health systems, and municipal benefits administration.

The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System, representing a mix of municipal retirement systems, state transportation agencies, county human services and procurement offices, and public health systems. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications under a five-year, $750,000 contract, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity and the tagging mismatch suggests categorization error rather than genuine procurement demand under this specific code.
