UNSPSC 85502617 Release left common carotid artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure and does not align with the work actually being solicited under recent opportunities tagged to it.

The recent opportunities posted under this code span healthcare services procurement across multiple jurisdictions: Columbus Consolidated Government's inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (RFP, due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support services for peer workers under a Mental Health Services Act innovation pilot ($580,000 total, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's EMS medical director (RFP 455, due October 16, 2025). These solicitations reflect county human resources departments, corrections agencies, and municipal fire departments sourcing managed healthcare, behavioral health support, and medical directorship services — none of which involve surgical intervention. The code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch rather than an active procurement category for state and local buyers. No recent opportunities directly solicit surgical services, medical devices, or procedural supplies that would logically fall under a surgical procedure code.
