UNSPSC 85501715 Extirpation of matter from right internal mammary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code address occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a surgical procedure on a specific anatomical structure. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement database or that the code has been repurposed in practice to encompass broader health services contracting that falls outside its procedural definition.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span state departments, counties, and municipal health systems across Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida, with issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. No identifiable pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges from the limited set of tagged opportunities. Given the substantial disconnect between the code's procedural definition and the health-services and staffing work actually being purchased, this code does not provide a reliable procurement signal for vendors specializing in the specified surgical procedure.
