UNSPSC 85501127 Drainage of left internal carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that displays a material mismatch between its technical medical-procedure name and the work actually being solicited by state and local bodies. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve occupational health screening, disability medical record review, pension board independent medical examinations, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit plan administration — none of which involve the specific vascular surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are diverse: city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transit authorities (Washington State Ferries), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). The solicitations across these jurisdictions reflect demand for medical administrative and clinical support services rather than a coherent commodity or procedure category.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, Washington State, California, Texas, and Florida, with no clear concentration pattern. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope, and firms should verify category accuracy with issuing procurement offices before pursuing opportunities listed under this code.
