UNSPSC 85501629 Supplement right internal mammary artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the code's clinical specificity. Instead, the opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical procedure networks, and emergency youth detention medicine — none of which involve internal mammary artery grafting. The code appears to have been misapplied across a range of health and human services procurement, suggesting either tagging inconsistency at the source or opportunistic use of a clinical code to reach procurement systems. State and local issuing bodies active under this code include county health systems, county commissioners' offices, county juvenile justice departments, state transportation agencies, and municipal retirement offices. The work being solicited is administrative and care-coordination services rather than surgical procedures.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southwest and California. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, RFP 20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluations, RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits network management, HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, responses due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 25-8414, proposals due April 9, 2026 against approximately $8.7 million annual historical spend), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing pool, RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code shows no cohesive procurement signal and warrants clarification before pursuit.
