UNSPSC 85501720 Excision of right internal mammary artery, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not solicit surgical procedure execution or clinical intervention. Instead, the opportunities registered to this code involve medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with cardiothoracic surgical services. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in state and local procurement systems; the opportunities tagged to it reflect healthcare administrative and staffing contracting rather than surgical procedure delivery. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city health departments (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The mix reflects demand from diverse public entities managing employee benefits, occupational health compliance, and youth detention healthcare rather than surgical capacity procurement.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP on September 16, 2026 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for fire and police pension boards, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP on August 25, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry terminal and vessel locations, requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians and a two-year initial term with optional five-year extensions. The City of Long Beach solicited proposals on August 26, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) for surgical procedure carve-out benefits and Centers of Excellence networks for city employees and retirees, targeting knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing actual surgical procedure contracting.
