UNSPSC 85501160 Bypass right internal carotid artery to right extracranial artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity does not align with its nominal medical-device scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — work that involves medical administration, staffing coordination, and benefits management rather than surgical devices or vascular procedures. The issuing bodies are county governments, city retirement and health systems, and state transportation departments. The code shows little relevant recent activity that matches its stated product definition.

The most recent solicitations tagged to this code span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under an RFP due October 16, 2026, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000 starting February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a proposal solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with estimated historical pharmacy spending of $8.7 million annually. The mismatch between the code's surgical-device definition and the actual work being bought under it suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly in the source system or that procurement offices are using it outside its intended scope.
