This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left common carotid artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85502591 Replacement of left common carotid artery with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical descriptor — a specific arterial surgical procedure — does not match the scope of work present in state and local solicitations posted under this taxonomy code.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve carotid artery replacement. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and juvenile justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), and municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Florida, Washington, Arizona, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a response deadline of October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source material or limited current state and local procurement activity under this particular code.
