UNSPSC 85502608 Repair left common carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for vascular repair, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are substantially unrelated to the specific clinical intervention — they instead reflect broader healthcare service procurement spanning inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. State and local governments are not procuring left common carotid artery repairs as a line-item service; the tagging appears to reflect a mismatch between code assignment and actual work scope. Healthcare procurement under this code family does occur, but it is fragmented across medical administration, mental health support, emergency services medical oversight, and pharmacy management rather than focused on discrete surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies include county government (Collier County, Monroe County, Muscogee County), a special-purpose county health department (San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). Geographic spread spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), and San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services for behavioral health workers (due July 2, 2025). The code does not support meaningful business development targeting at this time; vendors should monitor the code for classification corrections or clarification from issuing jurisdictions rather than invest in this category as a primary market segment.
