UNSPSC 85502536 Supplement right thyroid artery with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with surgical services or medical device procurement. The opportunities instead reflect comprehensive institutional healthcare services — inmate medical and pharmacy management, employee pharmacy benefit administration, county employee virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. This fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited indicates that this code does not capture meaningful state and local procurement activity in its stated domain.

The geographic spread of recent postings spans Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with posting dates in the February-to-May 2026 window. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, county health departments, and municipal fire departments. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (proposals due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered lives with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (deadline April 9, 2026), Monroe County RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (proposals due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department RFP 628 for a medical director to oversee EMS programs serving approximately 18,000 annual emergency calls (proposals due October 16, 2025). The code appears to carry administrative misclassification rather than representing an active procurement category for state and local buyers.
