UNSPSC 85501142 Dilation of right internal carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code name references a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities tagged to this code actually solicit medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which constitute or directly facilitate carotid artery dilation procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems that tagged these opportunities or a taxonomic misapplication that does not reflect actual buying activity.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunity block span diverse public jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (for the State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, budgeted at $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). No clear pattern of procurement under this code's nominal clinical scope emerges; the recent activity reflects administrative and operational health services procurement rather than surgical interventions. This code warrants review for potential recategorization or removal from active procurement tracking.
