This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of innominate artery, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 03B20ZZ

UNSPSC 85501718 Excision of innominate artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification actually reflect comprehensive healthcare service contracts—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical excision of the innominate artery. The mismatch between the code's procedure-specific name and the broad healthcare administration and service delivery work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between how this Commodity code is defined in the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices apply it in practice.

The issuing bodies pursuing opportunities tagged to this code span county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California), with no apparent state-level repeat buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and California, with one opportunity each in Georgia and California's Bay Area. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). Given the apparent coding misalignment, firms pursuing healthcare contracts at the state and local level should verify current opportunity classifications independently rather than rely on this Commodity code as a reliable procurement signal.
