UNSPSC 85502540 Supplement left temporal artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. This code describes a specific surgical procedure code from a medical classification system and does not map to products or services state and local governments actually procure.

The recent opportunities tagged under this code span jail medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve vascular surgery or autologous tissue grafting. The mismatch suggests a data classification error or a misuse of the UNSPSC taxonomy to tag health care services contracts that belong under different commodity or service codes. State and local procurement specialists should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for these health plan, clinical services, and behavioral health opportunities before pursuing them under this code.
