UNSPSC 85501713, Extirpation of matter from innominate artery, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical nomenclature and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical procedures on arterial vessels; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pension and disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county boards (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and municipal employee benefit programs (City of Long Beach). No standout repeat buyer emerges from the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity is dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single state dominating recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting public safety pension disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026, targeting contract execution by April 1, 2027); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work volume). The code's clinical definition and actual procurement scope diverge substantially, suggesting potential miscoding in the state and local opportunity taxonomy.
