About UNSPSC 85501800
UNSPSC 85501800 Principal arteries chest or thorax, open approach-part C is a Class code describing surgical procedures on the thoracic vasculature, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope. The five most recent opportunities posted between February and April 2026 span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve thoracic arterial surgery or operative cardiothoracic care. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in the issuing systems rather than a reflection of active procurement demand for the clinical work the code nominally describes.
Opportunities in the block originate from diverse state and local entities: Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison), Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, San Mateo County Health, and Santa Monica Fire Department. Geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida (two counties), California (two counties), and the West Coast. The Collier County PBM opportunity (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) manages approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spend near $8.7 million; the Muscogee County inmate medical and pharmacy RFP (RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026) covers 576 inmates with current monthly medical costs of $95,537.71. The Monroe County virtual care RFP (due April 16, 2026) serves 2,300 county members; San Mateo County's peer support pilot (due July 2, 2025) funds $580,000 in services. Code activity under this taxonomy designation does not reflect substantive procurement of the thoracic surgical procedures the code nominally describes.
