This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to restriction of right temporal artery with extraluminal device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85502512 Restriction of right temporal artery with extraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical-procedure scope. The six recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, emergency medical services for detained youth, and specialty healthcare networks — none of which involves vascular surgical procedures or extraluminal device placement. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all medical-services classifier rather than as a precise descriptor of the work being procured.

Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal procurement departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), and county probation departments. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026, targeting April 2027 contract execution). The misalignment between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual scope of solicited services suggests that vendors should verify code applicability through direct RFP review rather than relying on UNSPSC classification alone when evaluating pursuit decisions under this code.
