UNSPSC 85502613 Release right temporal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code involve inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica, California) — none of which involve vascular surgical procedures or the clinical intervention the code nominates. State and local procurement systems occasionally mislabel health services and benefits administration under clinical procedure codes; this appears to be such a case. The code's nominal scope — a specific arterial release procedure performed in an open surgical approach — does not match what issuing bodies are actually buying under this designation.

No actionable procurement activity exists under this code for vascular surgical services or related clinical interventions. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for health services contracts with state and local bodies rather than pursue opportunities tagged to this code.
