UNSPSC 85502509: Restriction of left temporal artery with extraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of left temporal artery with extraluminal device, 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 03VT0CZ

UNSPSC 85502509 Restriction of left temporal artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities posted under it. The source opportunities show no solicitations for the medical device or surgical procedure the code nominally describes; instead, the posted RFPs cover inmate healthcare services management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve temporal artery restriction devices or the specific surgical interventions the code names. The mismatch between code assignment and actual work being solicited suggests either tagging error in the procurement system or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health services categories that do not fit cleanly into UNSPSC structure.

The recent opportunities do reveal substantive activity in jail and county health services procurement across Florida and Georgia, with issuing bodies including the Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care for 2,300 county members), San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (peer support pilot, $580,000 total funding), and Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director services). The geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026, and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services with annual historical spending near $8.7 million. However, the code itself shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local contracts in the device, implant, or surgical-procedure space this Commodity nominally covers.
