UNSPSC 85501431 Supplement right internal carotid artery with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement for the named procedure or related vascular surgery services. Instead, the code has been applied to procurements spanning occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and specialty surgical carve-out networks for employee health plans. These represent fundamentally different service categories: occupational health compliance, benefits administration, clinical staffing placement, disability medical assessment, and surgical case management. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county commissioners and benefits consortia (Collier County), county probation departments (Harris County), and city pension boards (Phoenix). No repeat buyers appear across the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity spans Washington, California, Arizona, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers across 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation and record-summary services supporting public safety pension disability determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach's request for a surgical carve-out benefit program offering Centers of Excellence networks for orthopedic, spine, cardiac, oncology, and weight-loss procedures, with proposals due October 7, 2026 (HR26753); and Santa Clara County Health System's multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing across clinical ancillary categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code appears to have been misapplied to benefits and occupational health procurement; no solicitations for the named surgical procedure are present in the source material.
