UNSPSC 85502625 Occlusion of left temporal artery, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical medical procedure (occlusion of the left temporal artery performed via open surgical approach), which does not align with what state and local governments purchase through public procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code concern inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve vascular surgery or the specific procedural intervention the code names.

State and local procurement offices do not solicit surgical procedures by UNSPSC code. When medical services appear in the tagged opportunities, they are purchased as comprehensive healthcare delivery contracts, pharmacy administration services, or clinical staffing arrangements, not as line-item procedure codes. The misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the source system or an artifact of how opportunities are tagged to the taxonomy. No actionable procurement signal exists under this code for business development purposes.
