UNSPSC 85501249, Release right internal carotid artery, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code whose actual scope bears minimal alignment with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations in the tagged opportunities block span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review and independent medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency and inpatient care for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve the procedural intervention named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and procurement offices (Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and city retirement and procurement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests that either the code has been applied incorrectly by the tagging authorities or the code itself carries minimal purchasing relevance to state and local government activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations seek procedural surgical services related to carotid artery intervention. This code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local government procurement professionals pursuing clinical procedure-based contracting.
